I think what you're seeing recently (besides this one that doesn't seem to use an external editor) is a misconfigured Golded. Either way, Mystic should append an origin line to echomail messages if there isn't one already..

I'm not sure, but you could look at some more recent tossers like sbbsecho and HPT to see how they do it.

Obviously not sending an origin line in an echomail message is wrong, but it should probably still be allowed to pass.
