I just got done saying it works fine in Golded, which is what you're using.. so it would look fine there.

Maybe it is my reader, I don't know. It also displays these SEEN-BYs on my BBS, which does indeed know what FTN kludges are, and shouldn't matter if there is an origin line or not. 

I checked in Golded as well, and the "@" (which I think is just a translation of a CTRL character) was missing before all SEEN-BY lines, yet Golded still hides them (which is great for Golded, but my current reader and BBS software is treating it like regular text, because there is no CTRL character before it, as far as I can tell.

So I can only guess that something is stripping the CTRL character before that specific kludge, as that "@" character is still there on all the other kludges of his message (and I don't see any of those in my reader, either), and it doesn't happen with anyone else that I've read in the past few weeks.

Regards,
Nick
