What doesn't send an origin line? PKT netmail. Have a look on your next one. The sender's address is added in the "From:" line at the top of the message. The "* Origin..." is removed. I suppose someone had a reason for that, but I can't imagine what it was. Mad. FM> I think he probably changed it in 221, as I think I've only FM> done 1 upgrade. I must say I agree with Rod here about proper FM> testing, including regression testing to see that you didn't FM> break something else. Even for something as simple as this FM> PKTQWK stuff. There ain't no such thing as a minor software FM> change! :-) Anyway, 222 sends faulty netmail back to yourself, and I think that's the best thing to do, even if you'll never know what you did wrong without the "To:" address in the message. I didn't realise what a ramshackle system fido e-mail is, until I wrote the conversions. It says a lot for the reliability of computers and modems that it works at all. There is no safety net under anything. Regards, Bob ___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.12 @EOT: ---* Origin: Precision Nonsense, Sydney (3:711/934.12) SEEN-BY: 711/934 @PATH: 711/934 |
