 DM> The SMB index records only contains numbers. For the mail base, the 'to'
 DM> and 'from' fields of an index record contain the destination and source
 DM> user numbers, when relevant (0 when the source or destination is a network
 DM> entity). 

 DM> For sub-boards, the index record to and from fields contain a hash of the
 DM> 'to' and 'from' user name or alias. The hash is a CRC-16 of the string's
 DM> lowercase value.

 DM> The subject field of SMB index records always contains a hash (again,
 DM> CRC-16) of the lowercase version of the message subject - for simple
 DM> threading purposes, for both mail bases and sub-boards.

 DM> More details can be found here, if you're interested:
 DM> http://synchro.net/docs/smb.html

I see, thanks.
