ML> now do you understand??

I understand that explains why your software is broken in this regard.

Answer me this, why do MOST SOFTWARE and POINT SOFTWARE depend on the
ADDRESS of the lines for replies?  You're not going to get the ADDRESS from
anywhere.

Why does Intermail, Frontdoor, BlueWave and others use the MSGID to reply
to someone via netmail?

Listen, its clear now.  We have:

       Mark Lewis
       Lance, Laurence, what have you
       Matt

What do all three have in common?  JAM!!!!!!!   In other to make JAM for
for you, your have to use FTS-9 with your interpretation which breaks the
more useful aspect of the spec and NOW you say because of JAM THREADING,
the addressing is completely unreliable.  well, "well, altleast the
threading works in JAM, the hell with the address..."

Sorry, I am not going to support YOUR JAM INTERPRETATION of FTS-9.
