It specifically disallows intra-text kludge lines, except those
meant to mark-up text.

All echomail, that I send to Dave Hatch, has MSGs in the PKT with
a from address of 3:711/934, a destination of 3:711/809.  If I
were to send an echomail message with an address of 3:640/305, a
destination of 3:711/809, then as far as 3:711/809 is concerned,
he just received a routed echomail message.

PE> Both problems were fixed in 2.60.

RS> Dunno, I still dont see that thats the correct place to fix it.

Tobruk has every right to reject the out-of-spec MSGID, in the wrong
place.  However, it's not smart enough to do that.  GMD might be.
In this case, it was rejected not because of the intra-text MSGID,
but because of the incorrect address in the fixed header portion
of the message in the PKT.  

RS> Either you are having a brain fart or I am.

You are.  I can send you the PKT if you want to see it.  You can
use inspecta to see the address in the header portion.  BFN.  Paul.
