There should be a References header line that holds the message IDs of the
message to which you replied and the message before that, etc., forming a
chain from the OP to your post. Your Fidonet gateway is broken.
Also, initials before the ">" in quotes are unnecessary. I recall they were
common on Fidonet, but they`re out of place here.
The last incarnation of the BBS I ran up until about 1994 ran on an early
version of Linux, with a simple menu system calling out to a news reader, a
mail reader, etc. serving as the shell for most users. I was connected to
the local Fidonet net (I think that`s the term...it`s been nearly 30 years),
which had a Usenet gateway. I set up a news server and found a way to get
selected newsgroups and Fidonet echoes to populate it. I tracked down the
first post I made to comp.sys.apple2 from it:
https://groups.google.com/g/comp.sys.apple2/c/auyZidynUf4/m/BzptdoeXOS8J
1:209/263 was known to the Internet as skunkworks.genesplicer.org by the
time I got the setup dialed in:
https://groups.google.com/g/comp.sys.apple2/c/1NqfQRtcZyI/m/AD51-AaQW1AJ
Google won`t show me the headers, though, so I can`t confirm that it handled
the References header properly...but I suspect it did.
Proper gatewaying between Usenet and Fidonet is possible...but it`s clear
that your (or your net`s) system is failing badly at it.
