Can you give an example? What domain name do you use? E.g. the "gatewaying"
station has put "drats at db0fhn.ampr.org" into his "source address" field.
Will the message be sent with "From: drats at db0fhn.ampr.org, Sender:
dg8ngn at db0fhn.ampr.org" according to RFC5322? Do you use "Reply-To" ?

I'd like to choose my full e-mail adress rather than using the "Source
Callsign" in it.

Winlink is fine ;)
