There may be a few ways to do this, depending on what other software you use.

I checked this out years ago, but forget the results of all my tests. I use
Msged, Squish and Binkley. This may differ for other software. Basically,
if I remember right, the order of priority in assigning origin lines is:

    If none assigned in message editor, then one is assigned from 
                AREAS.BBS (if used).
    If none is assigned in AREAS.BBS, then the origin line is assigned
             by the message processor (e.g. SQUISH)

If an origin line is defined in Msged.CFG, that is the one that will be
used. Depending on the version of Msged, you may be able to overide that
for one session  with  while in the READ mode, but I
haven't tried that.
