Howdy,

Yeah, you are right.

CHRS's kludge is on my to-do list to improve. So at the moment, if the original message has a CHRS kludge, I'm using it verbatim (assuming it is correct from the sender, which sometimes it doesnt appear to be). And if there is no CHRS kludge, I'm inserting CP437 2 (knowing that my response does include some high ascii chars.

Yeah, I think I understand your issue - I use iterm2 to access my BBS (Synchronet), which most times displays correctly, unless the source test message advertises UTF8 4, to which the response from clrghouz is garbled (synchronet not converting the message to my UTF8 terminal when it needs it). (I see a similar issue when viewing the message with Syncterm.)
