      REPLY: 2:230/0 66cb6962       MSGID: 1:153/7001 66cb8c64       CHRS: UTF-8 4       Hey Benny!               BP> using nano, but i don't try 8bit yet, hehe              Your CHRS kludge claims you are using 8bit.               BP> nano is supporting idn and utf8, but utf7 would imho be what it        BP> should be for fidonet software,              I disagree. utf8 should be the default.               BP> there is no hope any fidonet software will do native html at all              Why? All that will accomplish is bloating text messages with html tags that       people like me will filter out. You can count on that. I am still using pure       text (utf8) in email. I absolutely hate html email.              If you meant to say using httpd to display msgs then it has long been a done       deal although I have yet to see anyone get proper displays working in a       textual enviroment such as a 4K display. I have been toying with this idea       since viewing a mp4 farmed out to mpv from my links text browser on a 4K       monitor deploying the linux terminal. mpv can do this using libdrm for       graphical output, with no need for a gui. Also I can split the 4k linux       terminal into 4 terminals that are very close to looking like the 80x24       terminals from way back when that was the standard size of a purely textual       display. Over the course of almost 40 years, I have never seen anything       better, although the Matrox G200 was outstanding in it's time. Things got       better I am happy to report.               BP> all well ?              Little Mikey's Brain lost it's 16 penguin host machine last week. Good thing       I had a quad core backup ready to pick up the task. Up to date too,       software-wise. This standardized fidonet msg tells the tale.              Life is good,       Maurice               o- -o o- -o       /) (\ /) (\       ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^       ...
