G'day Paul,

Replying to a message of Paul Edwards to Bob Lawrence on 21/05/97:

 PE> With great difficulty.  That's why people who are used to the ways of
 PE> fidonet, get their act together and insert an X-Comment-To field in
 PE> their messages.  I would be surprised if watergate didn't have an
 PE> option to do that, I bet Alan + Jeff simply haven't enabled that
 PE> option.  I will eventually get tin to do that.

I can get Watrgate to copy X-Comment-To: to a kludge in fido messages. I
don't see any way to have it add that to a newly created message though. Or
did you mean to place it like

X-Comment-To: Paul Edwards

in the message?

I have noticed in news tossed from Dialix by Watergate that if there is a
{at}To: kludge line in the message, it'll put that name into the To: line in
the fido message without anything after the {at} in the /address/. Let me
explain that a little better.

If the kludge reads

{at}To: r-berkley{at}dickwit.com.au

then the To: line in my message reader will say To: R-berkley.

If the name reads Paul_Edwards{at}rosebay.matra.com.ao, it'll read To: Paul
Edwards in the fido message as I left the name seperator as an underscore
in the Wtrgate setup.

Does that make sense?

Regards...Jeff (jeff{at}matra.com.au)
