   We've noticed something similar on our system.  Sometimes when
OpenMail sends a message through to OpenDesk, the location and
sublocation get changed to /OMUSER_01.  (I don't remember the correct
"name" for that mailnode, but it's the one we had to configure when
we initially configured the OpenMail gateway.  Normally, we send and
receive messages through a mailnode called /NOSLGW.)  When this
happens on our system, we usually (but not always) get a foreign
address that has a lot of slashes ('/') in it, as well as other wierd
stuff that wasn't in the original foreign address.  So far, I haven't
been able to determine where this is being added.  (It looks like it
may be in the OpenMail side, as the message is being formatted for
OpenDesk.)
 
   For example, the first line shows an address as seen in an ARPA
header (which was received through the Windows for Workgroups List),
and arrived as the second address...
