Let's see you sit down and plan a Fidonet front end mailer.  You'll soon see 
that "planning" such a beast (especially when you consider how useless FTS 
documentation is), would require a very large design team.

You obviously aren't a sysop.  :-)
The "nodelist" is a list (TEXT file) of systems in Fidonet, or any other 
Fidonet-style network.  
Take care,
