    >> i made some funky test posts using Thunderbird and Pan on FSXNet.   
    Ac> Here's a post using slrn, which shells out to nano when I post or reply.   
    >> The "From" field includes an email in one post and the "To" field contains   
    >> the "newsgroup area tag" etc. It is Usenet that has to fit into FTNs.   
      
   Ok, thats interesting. i might send out some more tests and watch how the   
   actual message looks outside the Newsreader, in the BBS.   
      
    Ac> I'm not sure why Thunderbird put the newsgroup area tag in the "To" field,   
    Ac> but that can probably be changed in your Thunderbird settings. Out of both   
    Ac> posts that came through, neither of them show your email in the "From"   
    Ac> field, so either Synchronet or clrghaus probably removed that for you.   
      
    Ac> One of the main things that bothers me about NNTP is by default all of   
    Ac> your posts will be "To: All" unless you are able to force the   
    Ac> "x-comment-to" field, which is doable in slrn as you can see this message   
    Ac> is to you. It's also doable with Thunderbird with some messing with the   
    Ac> config, but it's ugly.   
      
   I accidently messed up an smtp server setting in Thunderbird while testing   
   around with the newsgroups yesterday. Took me a while to add that SMTP again   
   and to find out that i have an application password for that Email provider   
   different from the providers website login =) LOL   
      
   still thinking about if i want to test slrn. Not sure if i want another TUI   
   interface for reading/posting messages.
