[AccessD] Repeat Emails

In my early days online ('95) I was told it was a standard, so I never bothered to check, being a newbie an all.

Oh well, it is a good idea though. Maybe the RFC needs to be ammended :)

Come on Brian, you know better than that :-). That's a convention not 
a standard  :-)  It doesn't appear in any RFC that I know of.

It's actually a convention from the days of Fidonet etc when 
bandwidth was even more critical (300 baud modems and BBS operators 
paying phone charges by the minute to synchronise the forums)   where 
programs like good ole SLMR would strip it automatically from 
replies.
