  It's bloody pkt2qwk that does it... so you can't find out if you put
the correct address on or not. It's one of the things I'll change in
my VB version.

  Yair. Bloody ridicluous. It ought to *add* the "From:" line without
removing the other. It has to do that in Netmail because it doesn't
send your address with an "* Origin..." line and the poor bugger on
the other end wouldn't know where it came from, otherwise.

  I've never used a "To:" with Areafix either, and I'm almost sure
that was how Paul told me to do it, but I've haven't sent an Areafix
message for 6 months anyway. I checked back to PQWK 200 (my oldest
one), and there's nothing about Areafix in it. My guess is that Paul
changed qwk2pkt so that it sends random crap if you don't have a "To:"
address, at about the time he removed his mapping (around PQWK220).
