Yes.  My Packet Inspector program didn't note any problems.  The zone IS in the packet header where it is supposed to be.

I also ran the packet through GMD...

IMHO, the REAL cause is the design of the "packed message" header in the packet.  It does not have a place to put zone or point, forcing the tosser to get it somewhere else.  Using the packet header is incorrect, since NetMail is often routed, and the packet header indicates the system who sent the message to me and not the original author.
