   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   
    ML>> systems can do this but i'm not sure about others... news just simply   
    ML>> doesn't have the same  capabilities that pure FTN has and there is   
    ML>> definitely some loss of information...   
      
   Jammnntpd still seems to retain a lot of the kludges. I just miss the   
   distinctiveness of From and To names.
