   Hello mark,   
      
    ML> i didn't use that and don't really like it at all... it was put there by   
    ML> my (new) BBS software... all the same information is in the header   
    ML> already so i just don't see any need for it to be put into the message   
    ML> body, too... plus it should be trimmed out in replies anyway as per   
    ML> nettiquette ;)   
      
   True.  It is not necessary to replicate another copy of what's already in the   
   "actual" header.  Rewriting the Subject and all the dates seems totally   
   overkill.   
      
      
    ML> that depends on the news server you are using to read... JAMNNTPd systems   
    ML> can do this but i'm not sure about others... news just simply doesn't   
    ML> have the same  capabilities that pure FTN has and there is definitely   
    ML> some loss of information...   
      
   Jammnntpd still seems to retain a lot of the kludges. I just miss the   
   distinctiveness of From and To names.
