Of course that should have been 3:711/934.105

Well it does happen. I am now using 2.30. I had erased the PKT with that
in but I found it on disk in the erased space and recreated the packet.
This may not be a totally valid packet because I may not have got all of
the file, but it's certainly processed OK by PKT2QWK.

With this upload is a file called netprob.zip which contains tenmin.pkt.
Look for a message from Thomas Sauer to me. Then run it through PKT2QWK
and see how it comes out.

PE> FM> In the raw PKT there's an INTL 2:2468/6700 and a FMPT 105 - should I

PE>Yep, the INTL + FMPT are what will tell you the address to reply
PE>to, in this case 2:2468/6700.105.

Thanks, I'll reply to him there.

PE> FM> What caused the faulty From: to be generated?

PE>No idea.  Does it happen with 2.30?  BFN.  Paul.

Sure does. Should I go back to 2.02?
