I was/am curious about these questions also. I had previously used BBBS to
generate netmails from text files to the Elist aka to update echos. That
doesn't look to currently work as I sent a netmail update and it generated
a number of errors. One of which was missing keywords such as:

SUBJect  MOD-UPD or MOD-ADD or MOD-DEL
FROM     zone:net/node{@domain}

I converted a single update file (.ECO) using the current syntax
and it was processed ok. I simply setup a filebox for 2:25/21 and put the
update file in the filebox.
