David:
You may or may not be aware that there is a new USENET message
header in use these days. It's "In-Reply-To:" and is used to pick off
the Message-ID for the message to which a USENET poster replies. It's
the same thing that Net-Tamer now does with its "References:" line.
However, "In-Reply-To:" was designed as an adjunct to the multiple
references found in the "References:" line of many other news clients.
Those clients, as you may know, cite all references in a given
discussion thread. I'm guessing some people desired a better way to
find a specific seed message rather than culling the right
Message-ID from several such Message-IDs in the "References:" line.
The problem here is that Net-Tamer is mistaking the "In-Reply-To:" line
for a "Reply-To:" line and is placing the Message-ID from the
"In-Reply-To:" line in Net-Tamer's quote header instead of a valid
E-Mail address for the person to whom one has replied.
