[ACARS] Does this make sense?

[Acarsd]

Hi Joe,
Just an addition-question.

What date did you receive this? so I can check my logs and see if they contain any DX as well..

Also here is a Frankfurt message from my (over a year ago) log:
ACARS Mode: e  Aircraft reg: _______
Message Label: SQ Block ID: [Uplink]
Message content:-
02XSFRAEDDF05001N00836EV136975/
----------------------------------------------------------[10/01/2010 09:55]-

Cheers,
Dick
