Hi Nicholas,

SEEN+BY lines normally don't have a CTRL character in front of them!

So I still think the SEEN-BY lines in this case are treated as normal text,
because the origin line is missing...

They will only be treated special if they come after the origin line, which
normally is the last readable line in a message, so it triggers your reader,
to hide the lines comming after the origin line (my guess).

Bye, Wilfred.
