I kept meaning to look this up. This time I took it to the deBabelizer
and discovered that this mysterious phrase should have been 'obvious':
Ursprüngliche Nachricht
= "Original message"
As we say, inquiring minds want to know.

Yes, sometimes the simplest of 'bugs' can be the hardest to see. Not
with standing the more obvious error, I do believe that Ammon will need
to clear the data block in order to get rid of the original data, and
copying a fresh empty block seems the simpliest way to do it.
