      MSGID: 2:240/1120.29 34637358       CHRS: UTF-8 4       TZUTC: 0100       REPLY: 2:221/6 620cfaa1       //Hello Tommi,//              on *16.02.2022* at *13:18:54* You wrote in Area *WINPOINT*       to *Tim Schattkowsky* about *"netmail"*.               TK> I checked the unprocessed .pkt from my backups. Actually there are two        TK> INTL lines:              Interesting.               By reproducing the original problem (WP no longer detects invalid receiver       addresses in the editor - fixed now), I also checked the outgoint packet and       there is only the all-zeros INTL included. I would suspect that *some other       software stumbled upon it and inserted an INTL line*, presumably because the       underlying logic is that *old software sometimes does not distinguish between       "no value" and "valie, but all zero"*, so reading all zero might lead such       software to misinterpret this internally as "no INTL found" and feeling like       inserting one based on all known information (default zone and node/net from       message header, which is consistently also all zeroes).              Anyway, WP should now again make sure there is a valid address given before       sending a netmail message.                TK> === Cut ===        TK> PktInfo/lnx 1.9 2022-02-13               TK> Packet header        TK> =========================================================================        TK> =====        TK> Filename : 0414ca72.pkt        TK> OrigAddr : 2:221/6.256        TK> DestAddr : 2:221/6.0        TK> AuxNet : 0        TK> CapWord : 0x0001        TK> DateCreation : Tue 2022-02-15 06:00:41        TK> Password : "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"        TK> ProdCode : 00fe        TK> ProdVersion : 0.0               TK> 7 15:17:37 Mail without INTL-Kludge.
