   To play devil's advocate... (you knew this was coming lol), although   
   ArcMail/Attach/FD style is slowing going by the wayside, there are still a few   
   who use Internet Rex and FD with NetFoss. Although IRex can do BSO/FLO mail as   
   well, most I know using IRex are using ArcMail/Attach/FD mode.  They may not   
   know you're looking to get rid of it. I'm not sure of the effort needed in   
   keeping it within sbbsecho's code but I vote no on removing it.     
      
   Ultimately, the choice is yours. :)
