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.
