Hi Carlos,

On 2025-11-23 22:17:02, you wrote to me:

I found it, and I can confirm your findings. I can also see it's still present in .pkt files that left my system to my other links. But it isn't present in my messagebase!?

Odd, it switches the order of the original Path line and the seen-by!?

Can you send me the original .pkt file from your SBBS point? So I can try to reproduce it?

BTW: I don't know if there is something to improve, it might just be a matter of GIGO. ;-)

BTW2: .pkt files that leave my point system don't have a path line at all.


Bye, Wilfred.
