Hello Nicholas!

It's not so bad.  The message can also be viewed in landscape.


 NB> Either way, that's because you seem to have Aftershock

Aftershock only has selectable CP437 and CP866.  There is a  
mode "same as device", but I don't know how that works.


 NB> Did Maurice's original message show up ok for you? Because

The original one was fine in Aftershock.


 NB> Can Aftershock use different charsets?

Dunno.  Maybe "same as device" does that?
