I hadn't really looked at this script in awhile & made a couple of changes.  I'm really not sure why I was using "while" to get $fromzone & $myzone.

I also ran a few things through chatgpt to check my logic and it noticed my regex for checking $fromzone was inefficient.

You can see the updated version at the URL above.

Main changes are in the "TRACE:" section (lines 47-60) as well as "Get MSGID for REPLY kludge" (lines 80-83).
