Subj : NNTP and To: field

Replies in echomail areas through Synchronet's NNTP server include "All" in the To: field. I had assumed this was standard behavior for SBBS, similar to the old NNTP-FTN gateways. (However, the REPLY kludge appears to be functioning correctly, allowing messages to be properly threaded.)

After reviewing the source code of nntpservice.js, I discovered a function named getReferenceTo. If I'm not mistaken, this function should return the recipient's name, but it defaults to "All" when a recipient isn't found.

Could it be that this function isn't working as intended?
