    Use SMTP-routable Fido/QWK netmail addresses is From header fields

    Use the Synchronet-supported FTN/QWKnet routable addressing in the from fields of messages posted via those network types. Using the mailutil.js fidoaddr_to_emailaddr() function that was apparently created for listserver.js but then made unnecessary (and thus unused for several years).

    I think this addresses the concerns from issue #487. Reading a message via
    NTTP (using the Synchronet NNTP service) in Thunderbird, one can now reply
    to sender via email and it "just works" so long as the sysop has configured
    the network support for those net-types correctly and Thunderbird is
    configured with the Synchronet mail server as its SMTP server to use for that newsgroup folder. Whether the Synchronet mail server is configured to use direct delivery or relay is not relevant (though mentioned in the issue description).

    Log Message:
    Close any open message base after input timeout (5 minutes)

    As Nelgin pointed out, the nntpservice can leave a message bases open while
    a client is idle. Normally, an inactive client would be disconnected after 5 minutes of inactivity, so that wouldn't be much of an issue. However, if authenticated as a user with the H-exemption, no auto-disconnection after
    input timeout would happen. So let's close any open message base for good measure.

    The input/receive timeout probably should be configurable and lowered to
    a smaller duration (one minute?). I'll leave that for another commit.

    Log Message:
    Close an open message base after just 10 seconds of client inactivity

    ... and log a debug-level log message when doing so.

    The current input/receive timeout duration (5 minutes) might be a bit long to leave a message base open (though, there's no known issue with doing so). For example, when users read message bases using the terminal server, they can sit for much longer than 5 minutes reading an open message base.

    Not the fix we're looking for.

    Log Message:
    More RFC (3977) conformance

    Some of the NNTP commands (e.g. LIST) aren't supposed to change the "currently selected newsgroup". Had to use a different variable name (e.g. mb versus msgbase) since these message base variables share the function scope).

    GROUP and LISTGROUP commands are supposed to set the "current article number" to the first article in the group. We weren't doing this.

    The HEAD, BODY, STAT, and ARTICLE commands aren't *required* to have arguments and yet, we required they had at least one argument (an article number). Now fixed.

    Enabled "strict mode" even though that didn't catch the colliding 'msgbase' variable definitions.

    Incremented the revision to 1.2
