Not only by Synchronet, but most NNTP clients, also. I'm guessing since you can't actually post a UTF-8 message with Mystic, that mystic doesn't support displaying UTF-8 properly, either.While UTF-8 support was started in Mystic, I'm not sure it ever made it to the
message bases (they still force CP437, I believe)..Regards,Nick... Sarcasm, because beating people up is illegal.--- þ Synchronet þ _thePharcyde telnet://bbs.pharcyde.org (Wisconsin)
Your messages (accession) usually show up as a giant wall of text also
for whatever reason. You can see it in my quote there probably.
