Hello Tommi!

Thank you for your message!

 TK> Do you have any idea if charset support is planned in Mystic?

I have asked James to please put this on his to-do-list for the future -- and I think he has -- but as I have understood it, "good" charset support would require some bigger changes to the source code.

But I'm hoping for a "lite" version somewhere along the way -- maybe just having the FSED read the detected terminal charset and adding that (currently "CP437 2" or "UTF-8 4", I believe)? -- but I don't know exactly how things are stored in the JAM message bases or if there are other obstacles, so I can't say for sure...

Best regards
Bj”rn
