It does cause some issues. I did some digging in the mbfido code last night, and discovered that it actually does something similar to SBBSEcho, in that it parses the Origin line of EchoMail messages to determine the origin address.

I consider it unlikely that anything will change in that regard. The documentation should be corrected to document actual practice, but that raises the issue of the copyright on FTS-0001.

It is.
