Hi Charles!

Yes... they are specific to the bot, as commands, and therefore maybe should
not be considered as part of the normal message after being "used". Netmail in
nntp and bbs systems operates similarly; if the first line in the body is
something like "to: fn ln, z:n/f.p" then that info is used to build the
necessary FTN header for netmail, and then discarded. The rest of that original
message is the actual message content.

Yes, I am familiar with that.

Perhaps the code could include something to "remove" the --subj:-- and/or
--to:-- lines of text - afterall, they are "instruction" codes, and not the
message.
