I understand. The traditional QWK format is to use 0xE3 for end-of-line (why? I have no idea), and those characters get translated by Synchronet to CR/LF *unless* UTF-8 support is indicated, in which case, it's normally expected to be CR/LF terminated lines. LF-terminated lines work okay too (as is the FidoNet standard), but my avatars.js script just wasn't very flexible in its expectations.

Cool.

They're hard to get right, I know, I've tried.
