rob is speaking of how sbbsecho exports from a proprietary message format to
standard FTN MSG format... at that point is where sbbsecho works with FTN
standards... the proprietary message base format that sbbs uses has other means
of identifying locally and non-locally written messages...

plus, he's not spoken of packing netmails or echomail into packets... that's
another part of the process...
