I know about it. In my opinion, this does not mean that no one is using it or that it is not needed, but only that the FTSC stopped working long ago.
MvdV> So why do you think a ping robot should honour it?
Why not? If it is, then someone thinks that it is necessary, am I right?
MvdV> What is the purpose of the REPLYTO kludge anyway for use /within/ MvdV> Fidonet. My understanding is that it is a gating thing? Am I wrong?
Not only. I can give you an example.

The calendar is maintained by Vladimir Fyodorov 2:6035/3, an automatic post is made by a robot at node 2: 5053/58. Obviously, the author of the calendar wants to receive a netmail with comments or suggestions to his address, and not to the robot's address.
Have a nice night. Stas Mishchenkov.
