   in the 1.2 source's nntpserv.c file... line 984...   
      
         if(var->opt_showto) sprintf(buf,"%s -> %s",fromname,toname);   
      
   change the "%s -> %s" portion to remove the '>' character...   
      
      
   there's also this one at line 1358...   
      
                     sprintf(buf,"%s -> %s",fromname,toname);   
      
      
      
   FWIW: a few more lines down from the first one is the RFC 5322 addition   
   section that was added...   
      
         {   
            unsigned zone,net,node,point;   
            if(sscanf(fromaddr,"%u:%u/%u.%u", &zone, &net, &node, &point)==4)   
               sprintf(fromaddr,"%u@%u.%u.%u", point, node, net, zone);   
            else if(sscanf(fromaddr,"%u:%u/%u", &zone, &net, &node)==3)   
               sprintf(fromaddr,"0@%u.%u.%u", node, net, zone);   
         }   
      
   you can see how if forces the email address for fido->news posts to   
   point@node.net.zone...
