PE> No they're not.  The address of the person who wrote the 
PE> message is NOT in the header.

Three things:

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

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

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