that is one of the ways that QWK stuff is incompatible with FTNs...
assuming that you are using QWK, that is... it is also possible that you
have to post netmail to another message area... on my system, netmail is a
seperate message area from all other message areas... what area did my
netmail arrive in over there?

this would depend on the QWK door being used... again, assuming QWK... see
above for additional... and then, one could always ask the sysop how to do
it or where the instructions are :wink:

i haven't seen anything, yet...

ahh, seems that this confirms the QWK suspicion... yeah, it won't be in the
reader docs... possibly in the DOOR's user help area...

 GM> So I'm trying
 GM> To: Mark Lewis 1:3634/12    in the message header
 GM> To: Mark Lewis{at}1:3634/12    in the message header
 GM> To: Mark Lewis (1:3634/12)  in the message header
 GM> To: 1:3634/12 in the message header and To: Mark Lewis in the
 GM> first line

 GM> Many more variations are possible but I'll try these for the

let's see what happens... and don't forget to be doing it in the proper
message area >
