This is more a kind of general chit chat area afaik. So I crossposted to the
NET_DEV area.

You should find answers for these kind of questions in the ftsc documents.
Echomail is defined in: http://ftsc.org/docs/fts-0004.001

You distinguish an echomail from a netmail by the 'Area line'. This will be the
first line in the message body, starting with "AREA:" followed by the area
name.

Bye, Wilfred.
