    infopack vs an (up to) 8 character tag.

    Just a head's up: FTN echo-tags (area tags) can be much longer than 8 characters: as long as 50 characters (for Mystic and FMail) while some software may be limited to 35 character tags, but there's no defined FTN standard maximum length that I've been able to locate.

    Request it via Areafix would be the way to go or contact your HUB admin and ask to be linked to it is another option.
