I can see you posted this message from Agency BBS at 21:1/101 by looking at the origin line, the last line of the message beginning with "* Origin:".

It's also possible to look at the kludges and see the path and seen by lines. It's not always possible to see them but on a Mystic BBS pressing "V" while viewing a message might display those lines, I'm not sure if a certain security level is needed.
