The SEEN-BY seems pretty normal, but its true that right now downlink echomail
messages do not have their "PATH" kludges merged.  IE you will see:

 AL>  TY> @PATH: 142/799
 AL>  TY> @PATH: 322/759 123/500

Instead of a single:

@PATH 142/799 322/759 123/500

The information should still be correct, just not merged.  I can't tell if
that is true or not because I don't know the systems involved.

Multiple kludges are acceptable and normal, because they have length
limitations, but I agree that ideally Mystic should be merging the PATH kludge
for downlinks.

 AL>  TY> SEEN-BY: 109/500 116/116 123/5 52 57 140 400 500 789 124/25 5013 140/
 AL>  TY> SEEN-BY: 226/600 229/426 261/38 320/119 322/759 342/11 806 387/22

Multiple SEEN-BY lines are pretty standard, as far as I know.
