    Does anyone know how a BBS user can see the origin of a posted messag using the message readers on most BBSs?

    Look at the last line of the message (the Origin line). :) You posted from Agency BBS, network address 21:1/101. :)
    Thanks Vk3jed!

    Is your name part of that address, like Vk3jed!21:1/101 ?

    If sending a netmail, you'd need to know my name and address (which is not what you put - the address is wrong, check my origin line. :) ). And bang paths are not used on Fidonet.

    Netmail addresses are normally username at address (they're entered separately in most BBS software), but Synchronet does use the familiar username@address format. :)


    ... Logic and practical information do not seem to apply here.

    Hello bbsing!

    For Mystic BBSes, you can press "V" to view message kludges, e.g.
    showing the MSGID kludge. (Most probably other BBS software offer something similar.)

    Thanks Zip. :)
