   Hi Mark.   
      
   This is not an area of expertise for me but I went looking for info on the   
   fstc.org site and found this   
      
   [snip]   
      
   Seen-by Lines   
      
                  There can  be many  seen-by lines  at the  end of Conference   
                  Mail messages,  and they  are the real "meat" of the control   
                  information. They  are used  to  determine  the  systems  to   
                  receive the exported messages. The format of the line is:   
      
                              SEEN-BY: 132/101 113 136/601 1014/1   
      
                  The net/node  numbers correspond  to the net/node numbers of   
                  the systems having already received the message. In this way   
                  a message  is never  sent to a system twice. In a conference   
                  with many  participants the  number of  seen-by lines can be   
                  very large.   This line is added if it is not already a part   
                  of the  message, or added to if it already exists, each time   
                  a message  is exported  to other systems. This is a REQUIRED   
                  field, and  Conference Mail  will not  function correctly if   
                  this field  is not put in place by other Echomail compatible   
                  programs.   
      
   [snip]   
      
   There does not seem to be any reference to requiring that NET be displayed at   
   the start of each SEEN-BY line - perhaps I should be looking at another   
   reference doc?   
      
   Best, Paul
