HOw is it. Where is the relavant From Line, the To Line etc. Information that 
is lost when you convert between the two, which I may ppoint out that you had a 
go at me some time ago.

QWK/Blue wave take the From  Line, To Line etc and present it as it is to the 
user. NNTP loses the To line, alters the From line and Msg ID.
