DM> SBBSecho currently supports 2 types of FidoNet mailers: DM> 1. Binkley-Style-Outbound (a.k.a. BSO or FLO-style) DM> 2. ArcMail/Attach (a.k.a. FrontDoor-style)

To play devil's advocate... (you knew this was coming lol), although ArcMail/Attach/FD style is slowing going by the wayside, there are still a few who use Internet Rex and FD with NetFoss. Although IRex can do BSO/FLO mail as well, most I know using IRex are using ArcMail/Attach/FD mode. They may not know you're looking to get rid of it. I'm not sure of the effort needed in keeping it within sbbsecho's code but I vote no on removing it.
