But.... we're talking about netmail...  Isn't netmail sent with 
sbbsecho?  

When I write a netmail to someone in Zone 2, the choice of originating 
FTN address defaults to my Zone 1 address.  Same if I write to Zone 3 or 
4.  If I write to Zone 21, it "knows" to default to my Zone 21 address 
as originator.
