   Hey,    
      
   new guy here (run a maximus bbs 25 years ago and return as im old :-)   
      
   Setting up Mystic on Linux (Debian 11) and running some test if   
   that BBS system meets my expectations (beautiful  pice of software    
   so far). So I run it atm out the box.   
      
   First in CP437 Mode ("Default Code Page" and "Ask Code page" to „CP437“)   
   and  access with CP437 Settings (via syncterm, putty, iterm2) everything is   
   working fine and look nice.   
      
   Switch to UTF8 (settings on Mystic and in terminal as well)   
   Still ALL is working fine, looks nice and feels good.   
      
   Till I try to type in special Character like ü,ä,ö,§. That Display   
   on screen as  ├╝├ñ├╢   
      
   that happen everywhere. So in Login Screen for name,    
   in config Mode (path settings), when writing a Massages.   
   even in texteditor (./mystic -text). even in local Mode   
      
   Sound like sending UTF8 TO the BBS is not working    
   or still expected CP437. As when I switch my UTF8 session to    
   to CP437 the chars working instantly (but as well well the rest is ugly as   
   BBS sending in UTF8.   
      
   Bug Future ? Only affect me ?
