Documenting commeon terms and pratices in the real world is not the job of the FTSC. The FTSC is limited to Fidonet.

That's not Fidonet.

That the proces is buggy is well known and has been known for decades.

Why not use real Fidonet software for you messages in Fidonet instead of sofware mainly designed for e-mail and usenet?
