   This is more a kind of general chit chat area afaik. So I crossposted to the

   You should find answers for these kind of questions in the ftsc documents.   
   Echomail is defined in: http://ftsc.org/docs/fts-0004.001   
      
   You distinguish an echomail from a netmail by the 'Area line'. This will be   
   the first line in the message body, starting with "AREA:" followed by the area   
   name.   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
