Is it a bug or a feature? I guess        NA>> it is a feature but then what kind of issue it        NA>> tries to solve?               TK> It is a feature. Some nntp clients dont like chars : and / in the        TK> email address. That is the way to show ftn address in email-like        TK> format.              I understand that part but still why using a point number as a username before       the @ symbol? Why writing the FTN address in reverse order? Why not follow say       http://ftsc.org/docs/frl-1002.001 user.name@pPP.fFF.nNN.zZZ.gateway.domain ?              Also, there is a bug with the X-SMAPI-From field, which I will try to       investigate later       X-SMAPI-From: Dmitry Protasoff <0:0/0.0>       X-SMAPI-To: Nil A <2:5001/100.1>              Best Regards, Nil       --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20240306        * Origin: ChatGPT can make mistakes.
