Hello mark,

 ML>> i didn't use that and don't really like it at all... it was put there by
 ML>> my (new) BBS software... all the same information is in the header
 ML>> already so i just don't see any need for it to be put into the message
 ML>> body, too... plus it should be trimmed out in replies anyway as per
 ML>> nettiquette ;)

True.  It is not necessary to replicate another copy of what's already in
the "actual" header.  Rewriting the Subject and all the dates seems
totally overkill.


 ML>> that depends on the news server you are using to read... JAMNNTPd
 ML>> systems can do this but i'm not sure about others... news just simply
 ML>> doesn't have the same  capabilities that pure FTN has and there is
 ML>> definitely some loss of information...

Jammnntpd still seems to retain a lot of the kludges. I just miss the
distinctiveness of From and To names.
