Subj : More updates to Hub 3

Hi folks. I discovered recently that Hub 3 didn't appear to be processing 
netmail messages correctly (with origin lines), and that was confirmed by Jay 
reaching out. (Thanks)

I took a look at my code that handles messages, and kinda thought that I really 
overly complicated how I process FTN mail messages and decided to re-write it. 
That took me down a rabbit hole of optimising how clrghouz handles messages 
internally to avoid the double (and sometimes triple) handling of variable data 
while messages are retrieve and stored, or retrieved to be sent out. (Have you 
ever looked back at your code and thought why did I think this was a good 
approach? :)

(I was actually wanting to change how I handle mail internally, making it 
easier to debug - and this fast tracked me doing that.)

So I'm about to turn on the update - my testing shows no issues, but time will 
tell if I missed anything. So again, if you notice anything odd, please let me 
know and I'll look at it immediately. (Im keeping processed packets so I can 
replay them if needed.)

To confirm the update is in place, I'll post another message, so if you dont 
receive it then something might be a miss.

After the update is in place, it would also be helpful if nodes that use Hub 3 
could send me a netmail to my BBS (especially a mystic node, since mystic adds 
an origin line) so I check that the parsing works OK as it passes through the 
hub.
