Bryan was talking about BULLETINS not PERSONAL mail.
Bulletins have saturation coverage, whilst Personal mail have specific
routes to follow, each one being hand crafted at each and every BBS.
It only takes one hickup with routing of Personal mail for it to be lost.
If a personal mail ends up a blind alley then it has no way to go unless
the MID of the message is hand-altered by the Sysop.
That's the way that the system is designed.
Of course there is a simple answer -
Instead of one sending "SP G0FTD", one could send "SB G0FTD @ WW"
and that would solve the mis-delivered mail problem. It would also
solve the problem of G0FTD swapping BBSs.
The only slight downside to that is that everyone other than G0FTD would
also have a better chance of also reading it ; but as anything on Amateur
Radio is not private then that does not really matter.
As there seems to be bags of spare capacity on Packet Radio, the slight
increase of traffic would , if anything, be welcomed.
One interesting point as to routes that personal mail arrives here from
the north-west area of England is that it generally arrives by all RF means
whereas bulletins usually get hijacked by internet forwarding.
