Hey Mindsurfer!

I'd tend to agree with that. Also, Thunderbird ditched support for most of the
character sets and codepages we still use with BBSing and FTN, a long time ago.

I believe I answered this already. No.

It can display "high ascii" properly, just not ansi/color.

It takes a little bit of messing about, but not too much. However, while I
tested Golded with Synchronet quite a bit, that's not how I use it normally.
There's too many quirks that I don't like, and it doesn't look like Golded
will be updated to work better with Synchronet any time soon.

1) Netmail doesn't work. You can read the mail base, but you'll break stuff if
you try to write to it.

2) You have to completely disable Synchronet's "voting" feature, and
completely clear your message bases of any "voting" messages. Golded doesn't
understand it, and will display blank messages and then jump back to the first
message in the area - completely ruining any chance of reading messages in
order, or keeping last read pointers in tact.

If you don't mind any of that, then it works great afterwards. It was
definitely enough for me to move on to other options. ;)

Regards,
Nick
