Have I missed something? If not, do you intend to add such features in the future? For example, in the good ole BBS days (I had an Internet-by-Email access via a Fidonet BBS), I could put an extra header line (such as the To: address) at the top of the email body, leave a couple of line spaces after the header line, and the Internet Gateway software would pick up the header lines from the message body and include them in the headers. In this case, perhaps a couple of lines would do the job, such as; Newsgroups: alt.kids.who.eat.Oscar-Meyer.hotdogs x-real-address: weeble7591-at-gmail-dot-com The presence of an "x-real-address" (or whatever you wanted to call it) line could instruct the software to use a phony email address such as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". Just a suggestion. In the meantime, I'm sure that those who DO have the ability to add custom headers will appreciate having the capabilities you've made available.
