      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A43       MSGID: 2:240/8001 a7b3ca5c       TZUTC: 0200       Hi all,              I am looking into developing a DOOR using Python 3.x for Mystic.              However, I cannot use write() or writeln() to output a string containing       special characters (such as „ [ae] ” [oe] á [sz]), they will display       incorrectly. The BBS is running in CP437 and so are clients.              If I encode the characters manually and call write() or writeln() using a       bytestring, the user gets disconnected immediately. This may be a bug.              What is the correct way to get a Python 3.x script to output special       characters in Mystic?              Best Regards,       Sebastian              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A43 2019/03/03 (Windows/32)        * Origin: BlackICE BBS (BlackICE.BBSindex.com:23) (2:240/8001)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 10/0 1 15/0 80/1 90/1 92/1 102/401 103/1 705 105/81       SEEN-BY: 106/201 123/131 129/305 153/7715 154/10 214/22 218/0 1 215       SEEN-BY: 218/700 720 810 820 840 850 860 880 221/1 6 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/110 112 113 206 275 307 317 400 426 428 452 470 550 664       SEEN-BY: 229/700 240/1120 1634 4075 5832 8001 8002 8005 8006 8050       SEEN-BY: 266/512 280/464 5003 282/1038 291/111 292/854 301/1 113 708       SEEN-BY: 313/41 317/3 320/219 322/757 335/364 341/66 342/200 371/0       SEEN-BY: 382/147 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848 3634/12 5020/1042 5075/35       PATH: 240/8001 1120 301/1 218/700 229/426           |
