The fix I gave him worked on the earlier WCMail doors, but I don't know
for sure that the WC5 is exactly the same.  Chowdanet's still on the
previous version, and the fix still works there.  But without knowing
about the fix, one did* have to do it online, since that was the only
time that the netmail information would be picked up by the editor for a
reply, or have a space to enter it for an original message, even in the
earlier versions.

I'm hoping that this will* work for WC5 as well, as two of my backup
boards (Doc's Place and Fonix) are using that.  Not that I send a lot of
netmail, but every so often it's convenient to use for something that
should stay more private...  :)
