   Rob actually did what I asked him to do.  sbbsecho now has the ability to route   
   file attached netmail without issue.  It was one small minor change from what   
   he explained and it does work as advertised.     
      
   This also goes back to the days when we were in discussion dealing with routed   
   echomail in which you and I said it could be done and everyone else said it   
   couldn't. My request to Rob for this option actually had, in hindsight, nothing   
   to do with that at all. Because I use the Pi as a hub and netmail from my   
   system gets routed through that hub (using the Route 24:all on the HUB), there   
   was a node who needed some files.  I normally like to use FM so I can attach   
   more than one file if needed.  All I know is Rob did a great job in issuing   
   this re-write to do as I asked and am sure there were others out there that   
   love this change as well.
