      Hi,              On 2016-11-22 12:11:44, Nicholas Boel wrote to Wilfred van Velzen:        about: "Netmail and Jam":               WV>> I just found: http://ftsc.org/docs/fsc-0057.003               WV>> It's a proposal for an AreaFix standard (although that word isn't used        WV>> in there, so I couldn't find it at first).

I don't think it can be a FTS, because it's not really current       practise. But it should at least contain the word AreaFix, so it's easier to       find! ;)              Bye, Wilfred.                     --- FMail-W32 1.73.4.41-B20161119        * Origin: Native IPv6 connectable node (2:280/464)    |
