In the early 1990s when I first started using Usenet, IIRC just about every (if not all) messages ported over to my BBS were "To: All" and responses from the BBS side, while showing a To: receipient locally, were posted to usenet as if "To: All." Now, most of the messages that come across the Usenet gates have a receipient listed. Very few replies still come across as "To: All." Not sure if that answers you question or not. ;) * SLMR 2.1a * Thesaurus: prehistoric reptile with a great vocabulary. --- þ Synchronet þ CAPCITY2 * capcity2.synchro.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/Rlogin/HTTP * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705) SEEN-BY: 10/0 1 102/401 103/1 17 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 SEEN-BY: 129/14 153/7715 154/110 218/0 1 215 601 610 700 840 860 880 SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 206 317 400 426 428 470 700 705 SEEN-BY: 266/512 280/464 291/111 301/1 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 SEEN-BY: 460/58 633/280 712/848 902/26 5075/35 PATH: 103/705 218/700 229/426 |
