This seems to be the place for inquiring minds to ask questions. This
may be off topic for this echo, but I've been told actually anything
goes here.
I'm helping a programmer friend of mine fine tune a mail tosser. I've researched it on google, but can't find anything I quite understand.
I'll try to make this simple, as I want a somwhat simple answer. How
does a tosser tell the difference between a "Netmail" message and a "echomail" message. Is there a header file in the PKT that will distinguish it, or is it the actual name of the PKT file. What should
we look for so we can toss a netmail PKT message to a netmail
directory for reading.

This is more a kind of general chit chat area afaik. So I crossposted to t NET_DEV area.
You should find answers for these kind of questions in the ftsc documents. Echomail is defined in: http://ftsc.org/docs/fts-0004.001
You distinguish an echomail from a netmail by the 'Area line'. This will b first line in the message body, starting with "AREA:" followed by the area name.
