Hi Carlos,
On 2025-11-24 20:54:58, you wrote to me:

So on top of the message where all the regular kludge lines are?

After reading the "PATH" section in fsc-0074.001, the proposed successor of fts-0004.001, which has much better definitions of everything, I got a theory about this.
fsc-0074.001 states:
- Shall begin with the seven character literal:
^APATH:<space>
The empty PATH line in your messages doesn't have the space before the new line, so FMail probably doesn't regard this as a PATH line, but as a regular line. And puts it at the end of the message text, before the newly generated seen-by's and path lines.

Got it, thanks.

CN> Mine neither...
Except for your Synchronet point system...
Bye, Wilfred.
