 TL> My guess is that the {at}fidonet is thought of as

  Looking through the messages again, I observe that almost all of the
  {at}fido...  are in the MSGID field, not on the origin line.   I did see
  one exception to that in an origin line.   For those messages that had
  an {at}fido... , it was {at}fidonet for messages with a zone 2 origin line
  and {at}fido7 for messages with a zone 7 origin line.

 TL> So you're saying then that the echomail distribution 
 TL> system(s) allow zones other than 1-6?

   So it would seem.

 TL> Does that mean I could assign myself a Zone 7 number and 
 TL> participate in that echo by using you as a link?

  No, but primarily because I am a leaf node only.  I don't know what
  would happen if I redistributed any echo.  I'd need to check with
  uplink first (primary concern being dupe loops).   I do have the
  ability to have users via email QWK packets, but those messages have
  my origin line on them.
