So that address is a correct format address for matrix (chat) - so it probably 
does look odd/different to what is normally used in BBSing.

The origin line of the message will tell you what matrix "room" the message was 











































































































posted in. (It was the TQW_TEST room). Messages posted there will appear in the 











































































































echo for BBSes, and any messages posted in the BBS echo will appear in matrix.

There are a couple of glitches to work through, and I may surround each message 











































































































appearing in matrix with triple backtick (quote), so that any formating is 
preserved. I may even look at getting ansilove going, so that any messages with 











































































































ANSI get posted as an image (since matrix doesnt really have CP437 graphics, 
and a monospaced font that I can find.)
