   Hallo mark!   
      
    ml> if that's the post i think it was, i included a graphic of a   
    ml> rainbow over a pot of gold...   
      
   Yes that would be the msg in question.  However the graphic is definetly   
   grunged even when converted to utf8 from cp437.  Is there an original I can   
   have a looksee?  If it contains any ansi escape sequences that is what would   
   cause extreme grief as those will not work in fidonet messaging.  Anyhow I   
   have been able to convert cp437 ansi files to utf8 ansi files in the past and   
   the result is best viewed using stty.  Offhand I don't recall exactly how it   
   was achieved but do recall stty has some switches to force the view to 24x80   
   so that the ansi escape sequences behave themselves on terminals foreign to   
   'normal' DOS-think terminals.  Not sure if the same will work on a KDE   
   terminal but perhaps something closer to a 'normal' terminal such as rxvt?   
      
   Sean might be able to test a cp437 ansi file in tmux without the need for stty   
   by sizing it's terminal to 24x80, as he seems to be using cp437 natively.
