"Echoed in" via someone's Usenet<>FidoNet gateway.  They certainly aren't going
to send messages to FidoNet directly.  They're not a FidoNet Node...

news.eternal-september.org is not part of FidoNet. They are a Usenet news
service provider and are not in any way bound by FidoNet technical standards.

What kludge were you looking for in the message(s)? A lot depends on the gating
software and the message tossing software on the FidoNet side of things - - not
on the Usenet side of things.
