[nos-bbs] how to reply to a bulletin ?

[George [ham] VerDuin]

So Maiko -- I asked jnoswiki because the question is interesting...

I queried on the text "reply" and got 16 hits -- so I chose the BBS hit 
and saw the following as posted below...

SO my interpretation is:

 1. As superuser you may set one of two reply addresses to use for "SR"
    bulletin response.
 2. As regular user you may "SR" to bulletins but you take what you get
    as an address.

Therefore I guess the answer to your question is no -- not under the 
earlier documented design.
Does the code verify this?
