   At the time of the posting using SMBUTIL, the message should have been   
   converted when I read it in the specific echo after it was uploaded when I   
   telnet into the board.

   According to Rob, the -e1 switch will do the conversion being it stipulates   
   that I am the sysop.  No other user has that option.
