Hello mark,   
      
   KR> Replacement of existing origin lines is NOT properly. There is one   
   KR> real origin line only: The first one of the original writer.   
      
   ml> incorrect... the last origin line is the valid one... are you not aware   
   ml> of how proper FTN<->FTN gating is done? they use the same as is   
   ml> documented...   
      
   That may be, but read on...   
      
   ml> sbbsecho's negating is properly done and is not a violation of any   
   ml> FTN specs...   
      
   KR> It is common practice that mailcontent including the original origin   
   KR> line is transported unmodified within Fidonet as long as i can   
   KR> remember.   
      
   ml> it is transported unmodified...   
      
   No it is transported and changed, at the local machine between the software   
   packages.   
      
   ml> it originates on that system and is packed with two tear and origin   
   ml> lines... nothing has changed that along the path...   
      
   incorrect...   
   the second program (i.e. tosser) changed the message generated by the first   
   program (i.e. GolEd), so that's xab, nothing less.   
   It also changed the original tearline and original origin line,   
   by changing the first characters on those lines.   
   So it is still incorrect behavior despite of config settings.   
      
   Henri.
