[nos-bbs] Questions related to JNOS 2.0f

[Miroslav Skoric]

Hi Maiko and others,

After implementing the last patch, it looks like that my JNOS bbs 
(callsign YT7M) finally started with proper resolving incoming messages' 
From: and To: fields, which have been forwarded by neighboring FBB 
system (callsign YT7MPB):

> ?,A,B,C,D,E,H,I,IH,IP,J,K,L,M,P,PI,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Z >
> 246
> Message #246

But, if now the command SR is used to send a reply *and* such a reply is 
forwarded back to the FBB system, there it reads like this:

> From        : YT7MPB
> To          : CX2SA at CX2SA.LAV.URY.SA

Actually, everything looks fine, excepting the last line of JNOS SMTP 
header: <42596_cx2sa at yt7mpb.bbs>

I understand that 42596_cx2sa is the BID of the original bulletin that I 
have replied to, but why that part of the header includes the callsign 
of the last forwarding FBB (@yt7mpb) and that funny extension (.bbs) ?

I think something like that can only confuse the bulletin's author (the 
recipient of my reply). Yes, I know that all those SMTP headers might be 
deactivated from the view, but ...
