ummm... 5D includes the FTN domain, guys...

  1D : node
  2D : net/node and node.point
  3D : zone:net/node and net/node.point
  4D : zone:net/node.point
  5D : zone:net/node.point@domain or domain#zone:net/node.point

the old 1D and 2D formats that leave off the zone and/or net are no longer used
 since the network has evolved to zones...

echomail seenby and path lines are (still) 2D (net/node)...

echomail origin lines are 3D/4D with the zone or one of the 5D formats...

MSGID/REPLY are 3D/4D with the zone...

in netmail points are denoted in the TOPT/FMPT lines if they are not 0 (zero)
but a TOPT/FMPT of 0 (zero) should still work properly...

i just wanted to clarify the terminology...
