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. This issue was fixed it JamNNTPd version 1.2 with a patch by Peter Krefting: https://github.com/ftnapps/jamnntpd/commit/0f66465b4f93cd436b6da19ecad7b05c9133620d From History.txt: ==================== Changes in version 1.2 - Make From addresses into valid RFC 5322 addresses. - JamNNTPd traditionally has used Fidonet-style addresses in the From header. This breaks RFC 5322 and causes some e-mail software (Alpine, Opera) not to display the sender address properly. This patch changes the From header to use a valid RFC 5322 syntax, albeit not a valid Internet e-mail address. ==================== Unfortunately it seems that this patch was not applied to SmapiNNTPd, at least to the one on the ftnapps repo.
