   Modern BBS packages support ANSI in the message bases.  Even some "legacy" BBS   
   packages support ANSI in the message bases (some with more success than   
   others) while other BBS packages won't display ANSI at all (showing nothing   
   but garbly goop).   
      
   Since this is a federated network and we can't control who sees what on which   
   system we tend to cater to the lowest common denominator.   
      
   Some message networks allow ANSI in certain bases only (BBS ads for example)   
   while others encourage adding an [ANSI] tag in the subject so those that can't   
   display ANSI can skip those messages.
