    Ya.. I wondered about that. Or.. you decided to age 10 years in a few Og>> weeks. LOL

    It seems only my fingers have middle age spread. :D

    And are you replying via NNTP? I noticed your replay was address to "All". :)


    I am accessing dovenet via nntp, yes.

    I am not sure what triggered the "to All". Usually, that only happens
    when I create a brand new message. Does this one appear normal?

    The backstory how mp3 was first developed and how (and why) it got into Og>>> the hands of the masses is an interesting story.

    Now that I would be interested in! :)

    You can read a fairly long excerpt (Introduction and Chapter 1) here.

    https://www.edelweiss.plus/?sku=0143109340&g=4400

    I'll check it out. :)

    I liked the way the book interweaved between the pirate's POV, the researcher's POV, and the recording industry's POV. It practically read
    like a suspense story how the actions of one group affected the other.

    Chime in with your thoughts after you get a chance to read the whole
    story.

    I've noticed most of your messages are addressed to "All".. I've seen some of your messages written in reply to something I said, but addressed to "All", so they didn't come up in my new-to-me scan.

    Sometimes I use Thunderbird for nntp, but most of the time I use OpenXP.
    But the connection is to the same server: endofthelinebbs

    Does *this* one arrive with a "to All"?

    This one actually has two REPLYIDs (BEZ):

    MID: FE+Bp71G00B@
    BEZ: FEs9h84W00B@
    BEZ: 5F39147D.2138.dove-internet@freeway.apana.org.au


    My guess is that the server resolves the second one, and finds your name?

    Thanks. I think I know what's going on.

    When I reply to a messag that is originally addressed to me, the message appears properly addressed to the sender.

    When I reply to a message that is originally address to someone else, and
    I just want to enter the conversation, then the message gets constructed
    to All. :/

    Since you wrote this one to me, my reply should look normal - addressed to you.

    Yeah the server's doing something with the reply ID.. DM should know, I think you're posting on a Synchronet system, IIRC.

    Looks like it relies on reply kludges to get it right, and if you're not in the chain, your message is addressed to All.

    Yep, it was addressed to Warpslide. :)

    If you're connecting to a Synchronet NNTP service, then yes, it does try
    to lookup the reference message and then use that message's "from" as
    the "to" for the inbound message in absense of a "to" or
    "x-apparently-to" header.

    NOW, testing reply/follow-up via Thunderbird.
    This was originally from Vk3jed and addressed to Warpside.
    I'm jumping into the conversation.

    Will this be handled differently with Thunderbird?

    Thank you. Looks like Thunderbird has no issues. But OpenXP is a little subjective. It may be a matter to be resolved for "OpenXP 5.0.46" <G>
