 PM>  Netmail doesn't carry or use origins and neither Maximus or Squish (or

I realize that they are not neccessary or used for netmail.
 PM>  Maybe you could set up a tagline for the same effect?
Maybe that is exactly what I am after.  All I was looking for was some type 
of footer that stated where I am and the BBS name (not for advertising 
reasons).
 PM>  Out of curiosity, why the need for a netmail origin?   The message
 PM>  header on a netmail is enough to ID its origin node number.  The rest
 PM>  of a typical echomail origin is basically BBS advertising.  YMMV, but
 PM>  I'm not concerned about advertising my BBS by netmail.  Kind of a small
 PM>  audience.
The tagline idea is really what I am after.  I just wanted to attatch some 
type of "signature" to my netmail messages.  Maybe it is time to switch to an 
external editor?  Thanx for the hint Patrick.
