   :(   I guess Crosspoint/OpenXP was focused on pure text comms then, and     
   avoided incorporating BBS-specific eye-candy.   
      
   Given how OXP's ">" quoting colour system works, any ansi-color codes     
   thrown in would probably mess all that up anyway.   
      
   It would be cool to have a Thunderbird plugin that could render ansi     
   colour codes and pipe codes in select message groups though.
