> - Add a path record to forms to determine where it's been

Er, I meant to add something here too, but got lost in the resume stuff.

This feature adds a little bit of logic to "stamp" a form every time it
arrives at a station.  This can help determine what station originated
the form and who it was forwarded to in order to reach you.  You can see
the path by opening the form and clicking the "Path" expander near the
bottom.  A path might look like this:

  KK7DS;KE7FTE;N7OGM;K7HIO

In the case of an email that arrives and enters the system via the
form-to-email gateway, it might look like this:

  EMAIL;KK7DS;KE7FTE

In addition to the obvious benefit to the humans involved, D-RATS now
uses this to avoid attempting to send out email forms that started from
a gateway.  Imagine if in the latter example above KE7FTE was also
configured as a gateway.  Previously, his station would try to send the
form back out via the internet and it would arrive at KK7DS again and be
sent back to KE7FTE.  With the path logic, any form that has a path that
starts with "EMAIL" won't be sent back out again, even if it arrives at
a station that is setup as a gateway.
