If someone is in both fidonet and wanknet, they may have addresses
of 3:711/934 and 500:300/400.  Since the netmail area will probably
be common, when someone from 500:300/300 sends a message to you and
you reply, you want it to use 500:300/400 as the default address
FOR THIS MESSAGE ONLY.  BFN.  Paul.
