Hi Fermin,

On 2021-05-13 22:53:30, you wrote to All:

It's intentionally done this way by the original author of FMail. So I suspect
it's a (kind of) fidonet standard.

FTS-0001 However doesn't specify anything about the content of the password
field. But in http://ftsc.org/docs/fsc-0039.001 we read:

Type-2 Packet Format (proposed, but currently in use)
-----------------------------------------------------
  Field    Ofs Siz Type  Description                Expected value(s)
  -------  --- --- ----  -------------------------- -----------------
[...]
  Password  1A   8 Char  Packet password            A-Z,0-9


Bye, Wilfred.
