    Use SMTP-routable Fido/QWK netmail addresses is From header fieldsUse the Synchronet-supported FTN/QWKnet routable addressing in the from fieldsof messages posted via those network types. Using the mailutil.jsfidoaddr_to_emailaddr() function that was apparently created for listserver.jsbut then made unnecessary (and thus unused for several years).I think this addresses the concerns from issue #487. Reading a message viaNTTP (using the Synchronet NNTP service) in Thunderbird, one can now replyto sender via email and it "just works" so long as the sysop has configuredthe network support for those net-types correctly and Thunderbird isconfigured with the Synchronet mail server as its SMTP server to use for thatnewsgroup folder. Whether the Synchronet mail server is configured to usedirect delivery or relay is not relevant (though mentioned in the issuedescription).

    Log Message:
    Close any open message base after input timeout (5 minutes)

    As Nelgin pointed out, the nntpservice can leave a message bases open while
    a client is idle. Normally, an inactive client would be disconnected after 5 minutes of inactivity, so that wouldn't be much of an issue. However, if authenticated as a user with the H-exemption, no auto-disconnection after
    input timeout would happen. So let's close any open message base for good measure.

    The input/receive timeout probably should be configurable and lowered to
    a smaller duration (one minute?). I'll leave that for another commit.

    More RFC (3977) conformance

    Some of the NNTP commands (e.g. LIST) aren't supposed to change the "currently selected newsgroup". Had to use a different variable name (e.g. mb versus msgbase) since these message base variables share the function scope).

    GROUP and LISTGROUP commands are supposed to set the "current article number" to the first article in the group. We weren't doing this.

    The HEAD, BODY, STAT, and ARTICLE commands aren't *required* to have arguments and yet, we required they had at least one argument (an article number). Now fixed.

    Enabled "strict mode" even though that didn't catch the colliding 'msgbase' variable definitions.

    Incremented the revision to 1.2

    Log Message:
    Add support for -utf8 option

    To force conversion of non-ASCII message body text, assumed to CP437,
    to UTF-8 encoded equivalent.

    Use of the -ascii option or when exporting sub-boards that are configured (in SCFG)
    to export ASCII only, defeats this option.

    Fix for issue #917.

    The -mail option now allows user (non-Guest) access to their email

    in the "mail" group, rather than sysop acccess to *all* email.

    If any sysop actually wants the "all email" feature, that can be re-added
    easy enough.

    I *think* this is what Accession was asking for?
