Right, but in my experience the new stuff is at least some of the time
tacked onto the end (that's been the case with the loops I've had, where a
vacation responder was kind enough to return a copy of each message it
got)a, so Mj2's partial body checksum will catch those cases. If the
beginning of the message changes, though, you're stuck.
