In BSO the hex zone number extension is omitted for the default outbound only,
which is the default zone in the first domain. Every other outbound directory
has a zone extension.

From FTS-5005.003:

  For example, if your default outbound is C:\BINK\OUTBOUND
  for the outbound holding area (and you are in FidoNet), Amiganet
  (zone 39) outbound mail would be held in the C:\BINK\AMIGANET.027
  directory instead. Note that outbound areas for domains other than
  your primary will ALWAYS have a zone extension, and that zone
  extensions are always specified in Hexadecimal, up to .FFF (4095).

  The outbound holding areas (for Zone 1 FidoNet) would then be as
  follows:

  c:\bink\outbound        (Default Outbound)
  c:\bink\outbound.002    (FidoNet Zone 2)
  c:\bink\outbound.003    (FidoNet Zone 3)
  c:\bink\outbound.004    (FidoNet Zone 4)
  c:\bink\amiganet.027    (Amiganet Zone 39)
  c:\bink\agoranet.02e    (Agoranet Zone 46)
  c:\bink\dbnet.0c9       (Dbnet Zone 201)

binkd never implemented it correctly. What you call a workaround is a
workaround for a binkd bug. The narrative that all the other mailers do it
wrong and binkd is the one software that does it right is just an alternative
fact. BSO 5D was used before binkd even existed. BinkleyTerm had no problems
with 5D outbound from Fastecho, Squish, Crashmail and other mailers .
