   actually, the phrasing is    
      
     "address of the originating system"   
      
   not   
      
     "fidonet address of the originating system"   
      
   there is a huge difference ;)    
      
    WvV> The definition is:

    WvV>      A MSGID line consists of the string "^AMSGID:" (where ^A is a

   sbbs (sbbsecho actually) has a different form of MSGID but it does conform to   
   the spec... it just happens to carry additional information along with it...   
      
    EV> Has the Origin Line in this message been changed to capcity2 yet?

   if mike is a truck driver, he may be out on the road a few weeks at the   
   time... there are numerous sysops that have RL jobs as long haul truck   
   drivers... of course, this time of year, he may be on vacation... there's any   
   number of reasons for RL to take precedence ;)
