is there an easy way i can readdress mis-addressed FTN netmails to the proper
address so my system can send them on to the real destination?

explanation: from time to time my system receives routed FTN netmails that are
mis-addressed... basically, they have the wrong address (one of my system
addresses) for the destination user... i'm hoping this would be done with some
tool to alter the MSG file in my /sbbs/netmail directory so sbbsecho will see
it the next time it runs and pack it to the destination according to my routing
 setup... i know i could maybe hex edit the message in question but that's a
dance with the devil i don't care to participate in...

on my old FD/RA/FE setup, the netmail would be easily accessible and i could
edit it with my normal sysop editor to change the destination address as well
as to possibly add a note at the top maybe explaining the delay...

the only other choice is to bounce the message back to the sender with a note
that the destination user is not a user at the address it was sent to but
there's no easy way to do that, either...
