Hi Richard!

What is interesting is that the message you copied and pasted that was
garbled had no ansi in it, that bit was just plain text, only my
auto-signature has ansi, which I have disabled for the purpose of this
message as a way of testing.

I use Mystic BBS to send/receive echo mail, and that has functionality to
parse ansi/ascii/plain text just fine. I understand if using MCI Pipe codes
didn't work as I believe they're either unique to or rarely used outside of
Mystic, however ansi I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) was a global standard
and I thought was "universally readable" and anything that can't read ansi is
probably too antiquated to be used anyway. I mean I was using ansi back in
the 80's and 90's when I first started using bbses.

Anyway, for the purpose of this message I have turned off my signature as I
already said, which should mean that no ansi codes of any kind are being sent
(by me). I cannot however know however if any get added by Mystic or any
other hubs as this message passes through them.

I hope that you will accept my apology for not being fully aware of such old
and antiquated softwares still in use that probably go back before I was born
(I'm 41), and I shall try to remember to turn off my signature whenever I
post in RetroNet, the network for retro-games and other bbs-style retro
nostalgia.

Thanks, and best wishes,
Christian aka MeaTLoTioN (in plain text).
