Hello everyone,

Would it be possible to add an option to allow duplicate messages? We've created a BBS that uses the APRS protocol to allow for people to post messages/bulletins using their APRS capable radios and apps like aprs.fi while off the main APRS frequency.
TheCommsChannel/TC2-APRS-BBS

There will be times the same message is sent out like "No messages for you." for example but the user won't receive this message if they've already gotten it once before. 

Thanks for your time!

Hi,

Just use a unique APRS message identifier ("message number" is the term
used by APRS101.PDF) for each message, and aprs.fi will accept duplicate
content just fine.
