Funny, I found this on the ftsc.org wiki:
Publication: FTS-0001 Revision: 17 [...] 2.1. Message bundles All nodes must be able to receive and process uncompressed FSC-0048 PKT type 2+ bundles.
Can we call this insanity?
Maybe the new members can revive some more useful old ideas:
Suggested list of Fidonet Technical Standards Revision 2, 1997.12.19 [...] FTS-6000 Gateways. FTS-6001 FTN netmail - RFC e-mail gateway (both directions) FTS-6002 FTN echomail - RFC news gateway (both directions) FTS-6003 Gateway addressing (both directions, including kludges in use) FTS-6004 Message ID translation (both directions, ref Gatebau) FTS-6005 Reply address translation (both directions) FTS-6006 Attachment translation (encoding and decoding) FTS-6007 MIME support (how to avoid unnecessary garbage)
