It can be.  In the early days of FidoNet, it was quite possible for a node to 
participate in echomail conferences via routed mail.  In this scenario, 
echomail is simply netmail with an AREA: line.

Take a look at FTS-0004.001 for more information on this; it's available at 
http://ftsc.org/docs/fts-0004.001 ...
