True. It's also rare people edit their messages. :)

There's two different situations going on here. One of which we know the cause.

1) When using an external editor (ie Golded), the settings in Golded take precedence. If you don't set a tearline or origin line in Golded itself, Mystic will pass on the message without them. Mystic should know that if there isn't an origin line on an echomail message, it should append it's own.

2) Very rare was the one we just saw, where no external editor was listed in the kludges. This could mean it's something internal to Mystic itself, like editing a message that hasn't been tossed yet, etc.

I believe if you disable the PID kludge in Golded, it automatically appends an origin line. You can also specify to use both the origin line and the PID kludge, but I don't think you can disable both on an echomail message. Either way, Golded let's you know somehow that the message originated there. So I don't think the second one would have anything to do with Golded.

As the OP of that message has stated, he was using the message editor at 20FB, which I assume would have been Mystic's built in editor (probably modified, though).
