When this auto-replies to a message that uses the "CHRS: ASCII 1" kludge (which will probably be the majority of messages created with newer Synchronet systems from here on out), your border comes out like this. Your border is made with CP437 characters, which can not be translated to ASCII.

Would it be a better scenario of your bordered auto-reponses to ASCII messages didn't translate at all, and just stayed in CP437 coming from your system? You would obviously still be posting the CHRS kludge /they/ used in their original header. But at this point you're breaking proper translations.
