   Yes, a clerical correction.  Totally unnecessary and thoroughly at odds with   
   the raison d'etre of the FTSC.  You will note that they had to dismantle   
   'current practice' on a number (150?) nodes in order to comply with the   
   clerical fix.   
      
   In so doing, all functionality in Argus-family mailers was broken.  I still   
   have a standing question in the FTSC public echo on 'which mailers would be   
   broken, with no change' (IIRC).  Which was largely unanswered except for   
   yours, explaining FroDo's operation...

   I asked approximately the same question in the Z2 sysop chatter echo, and was   
   immediately chased out by the Z2C.  (Rightly so, since I had no permission to   
   post there.)  I did get a netmail reply from one NC, and I challenged him to   
   find *any* software in use which _uses_ the Txy flags per the FTSC change.    
   Nothing.  Nada.   
      
   Their 'clerical fix' was for naught, in practice.

   I had a good look with Total Commander for about 10mins and gave up after a   
   negative result.  :(   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
