FTSC-0004 ~ The Conference Mail System (EchoMail Specification)

Post by ONiX »

The EchoMail specification outlines how public discussion groups (areas) are managed, bundled, and transmitted between FidoNet nodes. Before EchoMail, FidoNet primarily supported "NetMail" (private point-to-point messages). FTS-0004 provided the blueprint for a decentralized, worldwide public messaging system that predated modern internet forums and subreddits.
