PE> Yeah, sorry about the delay in getting back to you about the
 PE> need to go to PQWK215 to get rid of SOT/EOT your end. 

  I got sick of waiting and did it anyway.

 PE> What crappy red numbers? 

 {at}MSGID: ..... {at}PATH: ..... and that. They're all gone now, just like
a proper QWK packet. I just get the message.

 PE> It should do it for all netmail. It should have been like that
 PE> when you were QWKing off me originally, no???

  No. I used to get: "From: 1:123/346.4" if it came from a BBS in the
USA. Then I knew who to reply to.

 PE> To get the zone number (3) appearing you need to add a
 PE> "-A3:711/934.whatever" on pkt2qwk. I don't think I mentioned
 PE> that,
 
  *Now*, you tell me! But what's the point of putting that in, when 
I won't know where the Netmail is coming from? Is magic involved? 
If I get Netmail from Elmer Zxwctz in the USA, how will I know that 
his BBS number is 1:123/456.7 in advance?

 PE> so how did you know to do that? If you leave out the "-A"
 PE> parameter it just makes it zone 0 instead.

  I erred. . What I actually got was: 
"From: 0:711/934.0".

 PE> Also, I checked, and you haven't received any netmail recently,
 PE> so how come you were seeing it at all?

  I save my uploaded 000000000.PKT packet and add in in with the
downloaded packets. I sent netmail yesterday and got it back with
From: 0:711/934.0 added on. In todays packet I got one with the right 
point number added on, but still with 0:711/934.n

  This is pretty useless if I get Netmail from another board. Will it 
still put 0:711/934.n?

 PE> Also, there is noone on 3:711/934 that is capable of sending
 PE> you netmail anyway, since no user-users have access to netmail
 PE> from the board "proper".

  I was worried about what would happen if I used PQWK on another
board.

 PE> So what's going on Bob?  BFN.  Paul.

  Us pensioners get upset about unexplained changes. If I get 
Netmail, how will I know the address for the reply. QWK puts the 
sender's address on top. When I had the red numbers, there was the 
PATH at the bottom and a pt123 on top that let me reply to 
1:234/564.123 at the last address. How do I do it now - if everything 
is 0:711/934.n?

Regards,
Bob
