    O> Sorry, I was confused and thought it had something to do with the   
    O> MSGID and reply linking.   
      
   That's OK, no problem, we all get confused from time to time :)   
      
    O> I saw REPLYID kludges generated by some software and replyTo is used

    O> I still don't understand what the REPLYTO kludge is good for in this case.   
      
   It's used for netmail replies to echomail messages originating on the     
   Telegram side of the gateway.   
      
    O> It is also unspecified as a single kludge and not covered by any   
    O> standard or proposal. There is FSC-0035 (http://ftsc.org/docs/fsc-   
    O> 0035.001) which defines REPLYADDR *and* REPLYTO in combination (both   
    O> have to be included in the message).   
      
   That's absolutely correct.   
      
    O> Using the REPLYTO address and ignoring the REPLYADDR could cause   
    O> issues and is not a correct implementation of FSC-0035.   
                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^   
   That's also absolutely correct.   
      
    O> If this is not intended to be an implementation of FSC-0035, maybe the   
    O> Telegram Gateway   
      
   I cannot possibly pass comment on the Telegram Gateway software     
   developers' intentions in this respect because I'm not conversant with the     
   way in which his software works.   
      
    O> and OpenXP should use another kludge.   
      
   However, OpenXP doesn't insert the kludge, it recognises an implementation     
   of the kludge and takes action on it when necessary.
