The zone and pont header fields only exist for "stored message" (.msg files)
and packet headers. The packed message headers themselves do not have
provisions for zone and point information. Instead, the zone and point can be
found in the INTL/FMPT/TOPT kludges and the "Via" kludge lines (for NetMail),
the INTL/FMPT/TOPT kludges being the "correct" method - also mentioned in
FTS-1. I'm not sure when the INTL/FMPT/TOPT kludges were added to FTS-1, but
it's certainly been a *long* time.
