I am sorry but I am forced to call BS on the above and will cite the common usage of the "Type 2.2" pktheader scam as evidence to support my BS call. On the surface it appears that it succeeded in supplanting the orignal and documented pktheader as spelled out in fts-0001.016 which by default is the defacto standard regarding this issue. If backwards compatibilty is the true goal then why isn't the pktheader in fts-0001.016 not supported by ALL concerned especially the echomail movers? I am only aware of one that can still support it ... or at least could the last time I checked. Does your software support it?
On the surface it appears that a coup took place by what I can only describe as backstabbing weasels given the lack of evidence to support such a shift in so-called standards.
RS> This seems to me to be the right place to discuss.
I agree but am willing to accept any ruling Andrew may make regarding this particular issue. Having said that I truly believe that I am 100% on topic for this echoarea and as the nodelisted sysop of 1:153/7001 I have every right to post here regarding the FTSC.
Life is good, Maurice
