'cause the To: line doesn't necessarily represent who the mail was 
destined for when it arrived at Demon.

Parsing the first Received: header works though if you don't want to
resort to *ENV.

The hooks are in GremNOS, I didn't included the nntppost.c source
since I was in the middle of tidying it up (and still am) following 
some discussions on the nntp lists (and, ironically, some more checks 
to prevent abuse).  There's enough broken news software out there as 
it is and I'm not in any hurry to add to it...

[ Another point I forgot to bring up about using SNews is the
  Newsgroups: and Follow-ups headers need fixing not to put one group
  per line for maximum compatibility (so1036, IIRC) ].

I should think this will happen when it gets exceptionally low on free 
memory - it certainly happens with other NOS variants, std DIS 2.16d
included.
