I was trying to send mail through an ftn.
I think the reason why my client has trouble doing this is that when I 
am reading an echo it only shows the echo number on the bbs such as 200x 
for Dovenet, 300x for Fidonet and 400x for Fsxnet.
Based on this fact the MM client does not know that it is interacting 
with an ftn based area so this is mostlikely why netmail can't be sent / 
received through the area directly.
When reading ftn based areas the only way I know what system the 
messages are coming from is to read the origin line at the bottom of the 
message.
So the main issue I am having is that when using qwk with Multimail 
every echo looks like a local area even though it may be connected to a 
network at the end of the day.
