Hello Carlos,

My From field in Claws Mail for this message shows: Carlos Navarro -> Accession, and here are the control lines:

From: "Carlos Navarro -> Accession" <21:1/192>

So it looks like it's using <z:n/f.p>, but it looks like it drops it from the actual From column displayed in the newsreader. It seems to carry over the original poster's node number, I believe based off the origin line.. and with the REPLY kludge in tact, and fills out the From field in the header with the node number that was taken out of the newsreader's From column.

This is not the case when using the latest Thunderbird versions, though. For some reason it doesn't use our actual names, but instead you would see something like "1/192 -> 1/200" or something similar in the From column, which leads me to believe there has been something changed in Thunderbird that Jamnntpd/Smapinntpd has not been (nor probably will be) updated to handle.

Regards,
Nick
