As far as I understand, this cannot become mandatory for them. However, I still see no reason to refuse such an opportunity.
MvdV> 2) Golded's use is for e-mail gating.
Yes. Initially, the idea of using @REPLYTO was for the convenience of using the e-mail gate. However, practice has shown that it is also very convenient inside Fido.
MvdV> It may be useful for that, but e-mail gating is not part of MvdV> Fidonet.

By the way, using this kludge allows you to receive replies from the robot to an e-mail through the gate. And this can also be useful for some sysops.
MvdV>>> 3) Are yuo familiar with art. 42 of Muprpy's Law?
SM>> Everything that cannot happen happens. ;)
