OK, fair enough. But be aware that according to the CHRS kludge your message is encoded in a legacy as well...

 MvV>> Your message was encoded in CP437. That does not work well for

AKAIK Synchronet BBS is capable of doing UTF-8. So I would expect it to reply in UTF-8 when quote replying to a UTF-8 encoded message.
