  • @INTL in Tele2fido gate

    Hi Wilfred!

    Does THIS message have it too?

    Yes.

    The first instance of it seems to be on Sep 9.

    Is @INTL in echomail necessarily a bad thing? I'd say the more info the better! :)

    It serves no function, except waisting bytes.

    An Echomail has no specific destination, unlike a netmail. So the information in the @INTL kludge isn't needed for anything. It's a sign of maybe a bug in the software that created it...


    Bye, Wilfred.

    Not necessarily a bad thing, but it is totally useless in echomail and may confuse some tosser to think the message is netmail.
