whenever you log into a BBS, if it gives you the option, choose UTF-8 so it 
will display right.

In your Mystic CFG you can set your BBS to use UTF-8 and/or CP437, I set it to 
Ask the user on login, which is safest as when set to detect it doesn't always 
get it right.

Hope that helps you out. UTF-8 allows me to use any terminal with or without 
screen/tmux and see it just right.
