  I only look for "To:" before ">" so it doesn't
look in quotes. I 
ignore all spaces, fail it on any number over 999, or any sequence of 
numbers less than 3 or more than 4. It would accept 3:54/54; not 3:54. 

  I was going to make it look on the first two lines only, but I
thought "what the hell?" If the address is tenmin is double-checks
by looking up the points list, and if you add the names and addresses 
of the people you send netmail, it will double-check them, too.

  At present, I have two ways to send netmail: use the netmail area
(address optional), or type "To:" and an address in any area. I think
it may be pensioner-proof.

 BG> Netmail via QWK is  still an utter abortion.

  I know - that's why I'm changing it. It's not the QWK format that's
the problem; it's the QWK OLR. Both QWK and PKT have message headers,
but *both* of them send the Netmail information in the message itself.
Bloody crazy!
