The answer is, most likely: nothing.

SBBSecho (the echomail program, "tosser", that I have developed and supported
for 25+ years) sets the "LOCAL" attribute on exported echomail messages and
strips it from imported echomail messages.

The only the types of files that SBBSecho actually checks/cares about the LOCAL
attribute are NetMail "stored message files" (*.msg).
