Yeah, the only problem with that theory is that Bob Lawrence,
Brenton Vettoretti and Dieter Mirbach have been conversing in
echomail and netmail for the last week or so using 2.22.  So
don't read any of their messages if you think there's a problem
with it.

 FM> AND YESTERDAY YOU SENT A MESSAGE TO BOB LAWRENCE

 PE>> WITHOUT PUTTING THE To: IN THERE AND IT WENT TO ZONE 5966.

 FM> Sorry, I'll send it again.

And the only reason I saw this was because I was looking for
your Areafix message.  Even if I do see a wayward netmail
message, I won't do anything about it, because I've already
spent plenty of time fixing up that problem, and if you can't
be bothered upgrading, I don't mind, you're the only one who's
going to suffer.

 PE>> AND TODAY YOU SENT A MESSAGE TO AREAFIX, AND IT WENT TO ZONE
 PE>> 5966 ALSO.  222 WOULD HAVE SENT IT BACK TO YOU, INSTEAD OF

 FM> But I don't want it to come back to me! Do I have to put a To:
 FM> 3:711/934.0 in there? SDUSRMAN.DOC doesn't say anything about that.

Of course you have to put a "To:" in there to send any netmail
when using QWK.  I'm surprised your brain-dead QWK readers
don't force you to put it in.  If you don't want it to come
back to you in 222 then stick a "To:" in there.  At least it
doesn't go to a random destination that way.  The random
destination might be 1:1/1 and your password gets transmitted
over the world.  And of course SDUSERMAN.DOC doesn't say
anything about it, it is a facet of stupid QWK netmail instead 
of using the proper PKT method in the first place which you would
get if you used any of the native formats around.  Keith, 
Anthony, me, Paul M, etc NEVER EVER have to worry about stupid
things like sticking in a "To:".

 PE>> Yeah, a separate archive for each problem thanks.

 FM> OK, the zero length seems easy to reproduce, I'll send that first.

I'm surprised you haven't sent me anything yet, but I'm not
complaining, I'm still trying to figure out this bloody
LINK386 problem.  Only one day of holidays left.  :-(
BFN.  Paul.
