:(   I guess Crosspoint/OpenXP was focused on pure text comms then, and  
avoided incorporating BBS-specific eye-candy.

Given how OXP's ">" quoting colour system works, any ansi-color codes  
thrown in would probably mess all that up anyway.

It would be cool to have a Thunderbird plugin that could render ansi  
colour codes and pipe codes in select message groups though.
