Hi Carlos,

On 2025-11-24 20:54:58, you wrote to me:

So on top of the message where all the regular kludge lines are?

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

 CN> Yes, it's weird.

After reading the "PATH" section in fsc-0074.001, the proposed successor of fts-0004.001, which has much better definitions of everything, I got a theory about this.

fsc-0074.001 states:

    -  Shall begin with the seven character literal:

            ^APATH:<space>

The empty PATH line in your messages doesn't have the space before the new line, so FMail probably doesn't regard this as a PATH line, but as a regular line. And puts it at the end of the message text, before the newly generated seen-by's and path lines.

 CN> Ok, check your inbound.

Got it, thanks.

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

 CN> Mine neither...

Except for your Synchronet point system...


Bye, Wilfred.
