   Received your NetMail.  Since it was sent routed I was unable to examine the   
   packet header from your system.  It probably doesn't come into play here   
   anyway...  Once I started digging I remembered something that didn't come to   
   me as I wrote the last couple of messages here.   
      
   The packed message described in FTS-0001 has NO field for the zone, which   
   leaves it up to the tosser to come up with it on its own while converting it   
   to a locally stored message (in Squish's case FTS-0001 or FSP-1037).  Your   
   packed message had MSGID and INTL control lines, so there was sufficient   
   information to come up with the correct zone (both source and destination).  I   
   have yet to dig into the stored message to determine if the correct zone   
   number was put in the stored message header.  I'll look at that tomorrow.   
      
   BTW, one odd thing I noticed that Squish did...  The INTL kludge was dropped   
   from the stored message (at least my message reader doesn't display it).  That   
   leaves only the MSGID to get the zone from.   
      
   FTS-0009 describes the MSGID kludge, saying it has 2 arguments, origaddr and   
   serialno, not specifing anything about the format of the address except that   
   it should be "a valid return address for the originating network".  Is   
   19884@1:103/705 a valid address?  I'm not going to judge you on that.   
      
   More tomorrow after I see what Squish stored.
