It's the ANSI       codes that don't get translated. In your case, that might be a character       issue where your font/character set is missing those characters. Maybe       you're in UTF-8 only and that post was CP437? I'm in CP437 due to       accessing slrn through old terminals and a BBS.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
