The 7-bit echo, this one.

It would actually be the third-party QWK mail door that converted the
message originally.  GT Power did not convert it.  The QWK door is
configured to not allow high ASCII in (most) FTN echoes, unless they are
for ANSI BBS ads or art.

GT itself likes ANSI.



.... Goodness! That was close! I almost gave a damn.
