I don`t believe hpt knows anything about any BBS. It only knows
the message areas that it is configured to. "hpt post" is a command
that can be used to post messages from text files directly into your
defined areas. I`m fairly certain that is what it is referring to there.

hpt and htick are two "modules" of the husky project (hpt for
messages, htick for files). Both of those modules can post directly to a
message base (ie: "hpt post" and "htick announce").

I can see a benefit of the tosser being able to pick up the
slack, though. Many older BBS softwares don`t support many kludges that are
in use today. If the tosser could supply those, I definitely wouldn`t
be opposed to that. But yes, IMO, whatever is being used to write the
message to a message base (not including external editors; but what the
external editor is being called from, instead). I`m sure there are plenty of
examples where that is not the case, though.
I don`t think you ever see a tear/origin line of a message posted
locally with Synchronet. I believe the message is stored in your message
base first (without tear/origin), and those lines only get appended to
the message during the "sbbsecho" process (when it`s processed to leave
the system). I found it wierd at first, and while it`s still wierd,
I`ve gotten used to it. ;)

Of course!
