Sure it does!  Read on.

:)  Read on.

Ah... you are ASSUMING that a "valid return address" = "valid real name  
"+"address".   But that is not what FTS-0009 says at all.

It just says that info on that line can be constructed so that it can be  
returned in a valid way.

And that is what OpenXP can do.

I have no doubt that a message to user 5667.fidotest at 4:801/194 will get  
validly returned.  All the "parts" are there.
