Just for reference, with Nikki's help I now have an alpha version of a 
VA2KA9Q gateway program to take outgoing messages from the VA setup and 
pass them to KA9Q (not exactly difficult). If anyone wants to experiment 
with it let me know. Importing the KA9Q batch.txt is straightforward 
enough, although not (currently) without problems.

Meanwhile, can anyone confirm that the ordering of header fields for 
mail/news articles does not matter *in practice*? A look at the headers of 
this article will show some rather odd ordering, but that's due to the 
nature of the way the gateway works and I'd rather not change it. But, 
of-course, I will if it's going to break anything elsewhere.

Whilst I'm here, a public thank-you to Nikki is in order. Thanks, Nikki.

Mark.
