    Do these TLDR messages look like garbage to anyone else? I just get a wall of text.

    i used to think they were spam but i think DM said he posts them.

    i suspect the "garbage" is just utf-8 characters that aren't handled properly.. would be nice if those were stripped out instead

    lol yeah. not a big deal. I suspect it's something to do with Mystic and QWK. Most things look fine but sometimes not...

    If you're seeing something like the following, that means your message reader (and/or BBS software) doesn't support MIME:
