Rusty:

I have encountered a problem with replying to EMail messages found in my inbox, that were imported from the MacKennel Fidonet gateway.

Here is an example of what appears in the message body.

>To: Daniel O'Leary
>From: Bob_Womble@1:130/41.0@570.199905031157.000FF9B6.FidoNet
>Date: Mon, 3 May 1999 09:04:33
>Subject: connection failure
>MIME-Version: 1.0
>Imported-Via: /Fidonet
>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

The mailbox is set to POP3, so I can also use Netscape to read my mail. TF/User will open the message and I can select "Reply" from the menu bar. When I do, the incorrect addressing appears in the "To:" field.

The correct addressing should be:

Bob_Womble@1:130/41.fidonet

What is actually created in the email form is:

Bob_Womble@1:130/41.0@570.199905031157.000FF9B6.FidoNet

I do not think this will be delivered to the intended party.
