Actually... I told him about the .REQ file used for SRIF, and he's already
added the functionality in, minus password support, but he's added in the
ability to use the subject-line FR: filename filename, and for BSO configured
mode for sbbsecho, it'll drop a .REQ file down, and append to it if it already
exists and hasn't been handled already. 

I'm quite impressed that he went and researched it so quickly and found enough
details to understand it, actually, and implemented it. I'm left only to test
it out, which I will be attempting to do very soon. :)
