Hallo oP,

Yes, I'm using SynchroNet (SBBS) now as I've been told numerous times in  
FidoNet areas that Mystic doesn't play well with encodings.

If you are searching for a prime example of a message reader from the old  
days, have a look at OpenXP, one of the open source forks of CrossPoint.
While XP has primarily been a point software for Zerberus/Z-Netz, it also  
became the number one point software for FidoNet, at least in Germany in  
the 90s.
I still think its usability and features are great - especially when it  
comes to cross-reference messages. Eg. if you reply to an echomail via  
NetMail, it keeps track of that and you can see the thread tree span  
across the echo and the NetMail messages.

I've set up a new instance of OpenXP and connected it to my SynchroNet  
BBS, so I'm my own point and boss node now :)

Regards,
Anna
