it is apparently a bug and rob is looking into it ;)
now, if we can get the vbbs author to fix his stuff so that fidonet echos carry
the proper origin lines without the sysops having to perform any special majik
to get it right, then things will be a lot nicer and easier on those vbbs
sysops who do participate in fidonet...
why do i say the above? well, i've assisted more than one vbbs sysop, over the
years, in getting their FTN origin lines fixed... this is something that should
have been automated years ago... at least 10 years back... but, who am i to
tell another author how he is to write his software? i'm only a knowledgable
FTN coder and member of the FTSC so i guess i don't know anything O:)
