PE> Three things:

 PE> 1. You have quoted a message header of a LOCAL messagebase, not the
 PE> PKTs that you receive.  It is the PKTs which are the criticial thing,
 PE> as the local messagebase's "origin" is derived from the PKT
 PE> information.

 PE> 2. The address you have shown below is 2D only.

 PE> 3. The address in the structures (do a hexdump of one of your
 PE> local messages) will be the address of your *feed* IN AN ECHOMAIL
 PE> AREA, *not* the originator.

  Paul's right. 

  But he's a fuckwit. He's just explained why the Origin line is
essential in echomail... but he's put an EOT inside it anyway. The
Origin line is compulsory; the EOT is an optional nuisance that slows
mail processing to no purpose.

  For Netmail, the address is in the header/message, and the null sets
the end of the message. Again, EOT is an optional nuisance.
