Hi again, Erik

I am not absolutely sure, but I believe you're talking about the THIRD 
PARTY FORMAT of aprs packets:
"One special format character } allows any APRS packet to be carried or 
transmitted by any other station. This is what allows the both the 
ZIPLAN and IGATE messaging capability! On receipt of a 3rd party packet, 
the original header is dropped and the packet is recursively parsed 
again, beginning at the {."

Parsing of such packets is not (yet) implemented by libfap, 
unfortunately. I believe n7nix's branch tries to handle this but relies 
on a libfap patch that has not been accepted yet (correct me if I'm wrong).
