I've notice that this "return path guessing" fouls up a little bit with 
INET received messages that use the Q-construct. I usually get a guessed 
path of something like:   N5JXS,qAS
Where the message might have come from N5JXS directly over INET. I have 
always just replaced this with something more 'traditional' like WIDE2-2 
and in that sense, I've been a bad tester...

Perhaps I'll try out other variations of this when I test this weekend 
for my other messaging issues.
