   Hi Fabio,

    WV>> Well in an echomail message you have 4 possible sources:   
      
    WV>>   Header   
    WV>>   MSGID kludge   
    WV>>   Origin line   
    WV>>   PATH line   
      
    WV>> If you don't trust any, you could compare the ones that are present.

    FB> Ok, I see that to forge any header you need to have a full editor like

   NNTP   
    FB> you can't forge these fields.   
      
   Indeed.   
      
    FB> Well, now I have enough informations and options to choose in.   
      
   Well, not really multiple options. You will have to use the Origin line for   
   the full address. You can only use the others, to verify... ;)   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
