MSGID is actually an echomail tag, not a netmail tag (TTBOMK). FTS-0001 makes
no mention of MSGID.

The addressing of netmail (defined in that spec), uses INTL, TOPT, FMPT to
determine the to and from address in the message. In the PKT file, depending on
 the version also contains the to and from address - but that would be used by
the tosser to determine where to route the message.

Strangly, IIRC, Mystic does something different to determine the from address.
(I noticed it when I used it.)
