I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think so? Wherever the message is written should be adding the tear/origin line. Most BBS softwares will append this simply if you set the specific area to echomail, rather than local. Is this not possible?

Or, are you accessing your BBS message base with an offline reader or something? I don't know all the details so I'm going to ask as many questions as I can. ;)

I want to say that this option only configures an origin line for messages created with hpt (ie: using hpt post), but I could be wrong on that. I guess I never used hpt to add those, as anything I've used over the years has done it itself.

Now I'm interested in what BBS software doesn't do this..?

Regards,
Nick
