   If a message posted on a Mystic BBS contains non-ASCII characters (e.g.   
   accented vocals,  ‚¡¢£, or the n with tilde, ¤), message readers may not know   
   how to decode it, as there is no CHRS kludge.   
      
   Some editors that support multiple charsets may assume CP437 if no CHRS is   
   present (I have it configured that way in my GoldED). But it would be nice if   
   Mystic supported this kludge, like most modern FTN software. See FTS-5003 for   
   info about this standard.
