  Excellent question.  I have no idea, but it somehow works.

  For example, EVERY message I get from videocam has fidoavtech{at}vidocam.net.au 
in the To: field by the time I get it.

  This is how I filter messages into their respective groups.  I look at the 
To:, From: or Reply-To: fields and move messges based on what they contain.

  In fact, my domain (techniciansyndrom.org) does not appear in incoming 
messages anywhere except in the Received: lines (equivalent to the fido 
PATH/SEENBY lines).
