Hey Shurato!

While you're probably correct for /most/ BBS softwares. Synchronet specifically handles this just fine, thanks to Rob's ingenuity. ;)

However, anything that does default to "All" (whether it be a BBS or not; moreso actual NNTP servers because sending to "All" may even be the standard) just requires you to manually intervene by stuffing an "X-Comment-To" header into the message with whatever NNTP client you're using.
