They're typically saved as .asc or .msg files, but I don't think there's a
special name for the format.

I can't remember seeing them anywhere else; maybe someone else has.
Ja> 3) Is there a specs document available?

Ja> 4) If possible, where can I find a viewer?
I doubt if there is one, apart from just displaying the file on a Synchronet
BBS. In Javascript that'd be something like:
console.clear(7);
console.printfile('/path/to/file');
console.pause();
Ja> 5) Would this feature be something a SysOp would be interested in?
We already have the ans2asc and asc2ans utilities included with Synchronet.
Someone might want this since it would save them a conversion step.
