BL> But we're only talking about 3:711/934, Paul. You *know* how many
BL> Rod Speeds there are here, and what his real point address is.

PE> This is the problem. I can't say remap only stuff going to 3:711/934.
PE> I have to say 3:711/934.*.

BL> Oh. In that case, no-remaps is probably better.

Nope, in fact its far far more likely to be gotten right than the
address. There must be damned few people who can tell you someones
point address off the top of their head. They dont generally get the
name wrong.

BL> It's pretty easy to get the name wrong (as you have just proved).

But in that case he wouldnt have got the point address right either,
so that argument goes up in flames. The real problem there is shit
mail reading software which makes it awkward to change the To: field
when you realise you have stuffed up.

BL> Someone should write a proper public domain remapper...

No software is ever going to be able to auto detect what you meant
instead of what you specified.

BL> BTW, what's the point sending Netmail without the privacy flag?
BL> IMO, netmail should have the privacy flag fixed by definition.

Quite a few BBSs have a netmail area and no private flag allows others
to read that mail. That can be useful say when someone netmails instead
of posting in an echo coz its gone off topic for that echo, but isnt secret.
