About the only time I specify an origin line in HPT itself is when I use 'hpt post ... -z "tear line" -o "origin line" thingtopost.txt'

I do have "Origin Northern Realms" in my hpt config file, which I assume would be added if I didn't specify an origin line with "hpt post".

Otherwise it's either Mystic or GoldEd that adds an origin line to any message I post.

With GoldEd in my golded.cfg I have:

GROUP A
  USERNAME "Jay Harris"
  ORIGIN "Northern Realms"
ENDGROUP

GROUP C
  USERNAME "Jay Harris"
  ORIGIN "Net 400 Hub Eh?"
ENDGROUP

GROUP B
  USERNAME "Warpslide"
ENDGROUP

GROUP D
  USERNAME "Warpslide"
ENDGROUP
