 Dunno if you'd call this help  :)
 Netmail doesn't carry or use origins and neither Maximus or Squish (or
 other programs, like timEd) will put one on a netmail.  You'd have to
 make your netmail an echoarea somehow, and the origin might get stripped
 out anyway. 
 Maybe you could set up a tagline for the same effect?
 Out of curiosity, why the need for a netmail origin?   The message
 header on a netmail is enough to ID its origin node number.  The rest
 of a typical echomail origin is basically BBS advertising.  YMMV, but
 I'm not concerned about advertising my BBS by netmail.  Kind of a small
 audience.
