   Yes, that's what I meant. Thanks, Nick.   
      
   This is a reply to a message from Accession in the SYNCHRONET echomail    
   area, sent via Thunderbird on the NNTP server of a Synchronet-based BBS.   
   The message will likely be posted to the echo with recipient "To: All"    
   instead of "To: Accession"
