I haven't heard that one before. I doubt that there's any BBS
where if you send mail to a point, it doesn't get there, but
if you had sent it to the boss, it would. Any software that
doesn't recognize points would simply ignore the TOPT kludge.

It's more a case of I don't like adding them in. Dave Hatch
doesn't put in a remap for "Paul Edwards" to send it to me.
I think it's the wrong thing to do, that's what addresses are
for. I would be happy to write a utility that did a scan of
the BBS netmail area and printed out a list of all messages
that weren't routed though. I have temporarily put the Remaps
back in, because of other reasons. BFN. Paul.
