Came through correctly -- but not the same testing. Came through to
'Barry Martin', which is correct, just need to see if the general post
option (to 'All') is coming through correctly.

Well actually I'm confused because this came through addressed to me -- inicates you addressed it to 1/1..... Might be just because I'm still

Is ILink a QWK-based network?

Technically yes but I think there's a mix-up in protocols: "QWK" is more
how the messages are condensed/compacted to make faster to transmit --
in the old days long distance was per minute and expensive. "NNTP" is
(I think) how the messages are collected and separated.

As for the "1/1", looks like something is is picking up a message
identifier variable: 'message #1 of 1'. I'm thinking something in your off-line mail reader and/or what you use to type your message isn't
configured quite right: the "Hello 1/1" should be picking up my first
name, as the next line of "on Tuesday 10.01.23 - 03:17, 1.1 wrote: ==>
command is roughly: "on $DOW $dd.$mm.$yy - $t, $msg wrote" where
the $msg needs to be replaced with something like $FN (first name).
(The command strings are going to be more detailed as $DOW would
probably pick up the current Day Of the Week from your system clock,
meaning $DOW would insert whatever data was current when you composed
your reply rather than the desired time when I sent my message.

Anyone with better 'clues' to help or explain please feel free to step
in: I haven't needed to work with the details in years.

That works! I was thinking MMDDYY and since there were other errors
wasn't spending to much time figuring it out.

I decided to quit the coffee stuff. Got tired of the addiction
and withdrawal symptoms.

That'll work! When I worked at the college I had coffee constantly: was
a freebie plus a good excuse to take a quick break (I'd usually get in
and get out rather than lingering. ...My secretary might have been
using the same 'trick' as she'd often get me a refill.

Anyway, now, not so much: about three cups in the morning (over five
hours) -- have the little mug warmer to keep the cup warm. Afternoons
in winter it's tea (usually flavoured) anbd evenings it's time for the
hard stuff: water on the rocks! (Water chilled with ice cubes. <g>)

AFAIK I don't have a reaction to caffeine: have had times when no coffee
or only a half-cup first thing in the morning and no jitters. headache,
etc. Other people very much have a reaction.

I am pretty sure it is picking the 1/1 up from the FTN origin line. Here
is what your origins look like when received on an FTN ILink node:

--- MultiMail/Win32 v0.47

* Origin: ILink: CFBBS | cfbbs.no-ip.com | 856-933-7096 (454:1/1)

I think the 1/1 that August picked up was from the CFBBS origin line.

There is not anything wrong with this, BTW. I have never seen any case on
any network that offers QWK and FTN where the QWK network tagline and the
FTN tagline don't show up together.

Hi August

Here's what I see on my reading pane: https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/571ad1c3e863

And that's similiar to how coming through on this end. The '1/1' here
would be the sender's name -- for some reason in all-capitals, which I
vaguely recall is due to one bit always being toggled on -- one reason I
didn't elect to use the auto-fill for the salutation in the text.
