OK. There isn't a text editor for Android which I have found yet that does
ANSI. Most default to UTF8 although I have found one that has USASCII, which
does make a mess of some of the characters.

However, on my MysticBBS board here, which reads the message fine, leads me
to believe that UTF8  isn't the issue. It must be the lack of CHRS: kludge
that Wilfred mentioned.

Dealing internationally as we are there are always going to be some
characters that don't always translate correctly.  The name Bjorn, when
spellled properly doesn't come across correctly, nor does most Cyrillic.

So, apparently, I need to find out why these messages are lacking that
Kludge.
