Actually, this is the name of the service (flying letter). fetion seems 
to be an unusual, or regional, phonetic spelling. The normal phonetic 
spelling is feixin.

fetion 0.97 is the plugin.  I guess this means it is a third party 
plugin and not supported here.  For 0.97, there seems to be no 
documentation or copyright statement in the source tree, so I can't work 
out where the official support channel is.  (Actually a couple of files 
have copyright notices for Thomas Butter, and GPL claims, but I think 
they are the result of an illegal derivation of the code - it doesn't 
meet the GPL distribution requirements ("Copying", proper copyright 
notices), even if it was intended to do so. (Unofficial Chinese 
translation of GPL: 
<http://www.certifiedchinesetranslation.com/openaccess/gnuv3-tc.html>)

There is a 0.98-5+ version at <http://github.com/gradetwo/fetion>, but 
still no hint as to where to get support.  This includes login code 
updated on August 10th this year.

RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam,
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
