   Hi! David,   
      
   On Sun, 14 Oct 12, you wrote to me:

   You know, I had forgotten all about the basics.  Thanks for that.  Does it   
   (the second method) work from an ordinary echo/group?   
      
   I did find that Tommi's solution seemed to work quite well.  I made a netmail   
   reply to Benny from this echo on your server, just by changing the newsgroup   
   name to "NETMAIL" on the Thunderbird form.  JamNNTPd filled in the rest when   
   it saved the message to your disk.  I've tracked the netmail's movement   
   through my node in the logs, on its way to Ricky.   
      
   What the original doco (the section you quoted) talks about is working   
   entirely in the netmail area/group, when reading & writing netmails... I think.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
