The address in question is part of the "From" field.       If a responding client copies that address to some other field (newsgroup       articles famously don't have a "To" field), then that's unique behavior of       that client.               > If it does, then it's sending misleading information to other systems.        > However, as confusing as it is while reading anything other than        > Fidonet, if it doesn't mislead anyone else or their system, except for        > the reader of the Synchronet NNTP service themselves, then so be it, I        > suppose.              A reader of the Synchronet NNTP service can reply such a message via email and       the response will get gated to a FTN netmail message to the original (FTN)       message author.
