      Attention mark,               ml> really? type 2[.0] is definitely defined in there...              Indeed. However no mention of any other type except type 1 which fts-0001.016       declares to be obsolete.               ml> 1:153/7715 doesn't run sbbs or sbbsecho...              The reply was to 1:153/757.               ml> and here we thought you were old-school... the old-school way is        ml> forced right-hand margins with CRLF on each line...              type 1? A reference would have been nice. As for CRLF, those are even more       excessive than just a single LF. Old school only requires a single CR but       then again that depends on where one gets schooled and of course doesn't apply       when speaking fts-0001.016. As for right-hand margins that requires even more       wasted bytes in a packed message. They certainly aren't required for display       if one considers inserting them at the start of each line, which of course is       variable depending on the hardware the message(s) get written to.               ml> sbbsecho's MSGID is not corrupt... it just doesn't match some        ml> template that some fidonet folks think it should...              Reference? fts-0009.001 claims;               ^AMSGID: origaddr serialno              where origaddr constitutes a valid return address for the originating       network. If indeed fts-0001.016 is to be considered the defacto standard for       Fidonet messaging then the origaddr would be 1:153/757 in this case.              End transmission.              ...
