reply functionality does work however, on the fido side, it is coming in
addressed to ALL instead of to the individual that you are replying to... this
is one major difference from normal nntp messaging... there is the X-FTN-TO
control line that was created specifically to help with this so that when stuff
came back thru, it was FROM: YOU and TO: ME... probably just a lack of
implementation of the X-FTN-TO flag...
MJR> I don't carry fido, and am posting on another bbs.
yes, i believe that you are writting from the synchronet bbs author's site...
