If you decide to use nntp to access bbs,

in the email field enter your user name here too..

it will say soemthing like 'This doesnt appear to be a valid email" or
something like this.. Use it anyway.

And the name field is the same as the first.

Examples from OE..

Name: Charles Claypoole

email address:  Charles Claypoole

I had to do it this way since I had some trouble passing from field from the
soup client..  this shouldwork though.
