reply functionality does work however, on the fido side, it is coming in 
addressed to ALL instead of to the individual that you are replying to... this 
is one major difference from normal nntp messaging... there is the X-FTN-TO 
control line that was created specifically to help with this so that when stuff 
came back thru, it was FROM: YOU and TO: ME... probably just a lack of 
implementation of the X-FTN-TO flag...

 MJR>  I don't carry fido, and am  posting on another bbs.

yes, i believe that you are writting from the synchronet bbs author's site...
