   Some legacy software accidentally supports ANSI in messages because it spits   
   out data to the terminal as its saved.   
      
   Mystic renders everything server-side and in the case of the message reader it   
   presents it to you in a scrollable reading window.  You can even upload ANSI   
   files directly into the editor and it renders properly right in the editor. You   
   can also switch to a "TheDraw-like" draw mode.   
      
   I don't think any other BBS has the same awareness/server-side imaging that   
   Mystic does.  Even offline readers don't.  Its a feature that started in Mystic   
   in the early 2000s and others just haven't found worth implementing, I guess?
