Hello jcs!

Thank you for your reply!

Yep! Looks good:

I haven't seen any such spec either, but I believe the sending software is supposed to, if it wants to. I think the REPLY kludge (referring to a MSGID that the reply is a reply to) gives the real/formal information, e.g. for threaded viewing of conversations (depending on whether the reading/viewing software chooses to do anything with that information if present).

Best regards
Zip
