   Sorry... if someone post an ad, or any message with ANSI in it, Mystic reads   
   the message as it is posted and meant to be viewed.  When Mystic reads a   
   message with plain text or ANSI it displays both of them, the ANSI in the   
   message has no affect to the reader.   
      
   It seems though, with other BBS packages... Yours isn't the only one... The   
   same happens with WINServer and other packages.  If there is ANSI in the   
   message it affects how the messages are displayed to the user.   
      
   I post ANSI ads, as others do, and I never really thought too much about   
   things because when I'm on my mystic system they display nicely... If I logon   
   to a SynchroNET or my WINServer system the message is not displayed nicely...   
   message header gets pushed up...   
      
   You can see this anytime you want... Logon to any Mystic BBS and read BBS ads   
   section... then go do that with your package and you'll see the difference.   
      
   Rob, I'm just an end user and had questions as to why other systems weren't   
   handling ANSI with their message readers like Mystic does.   
      
   I didn't mean to come across the wrong way... I just had questions... I was   
   half hoping that it was something to do with how messages are stored...    
      
   Thanx
