While that's true and expected of packed *netmail*, from my experience, going through GEcho, FrontDoor, D'Bridge and InterEcho, packed echomail message header's contained the last hop address as the origin address and the importing system must parse the Origin line to get the originating node address (of echomail messages only). And this is also how SBBSecho operates when packing echomail messages for export.
