   CP437 is a codepage, it was used a lot by BBSs of yesterday and even today.   
   It's not really a BBS or Synchronet thing although if you type in any CP437   
   characters (line drawing characters, perhaps) synchronet will set the CHRS   
   kludge to CP437. If you type in any utf8 characters Synchronet will set the   
   CHRS kludge to "UTF-8 4".   
      
   The message I am replying to has a CHRS kludge of "ASCII 1".   
      
   The reply I am writting now will likely have a kludge like LATIN-1.   
      
   It's nothing to worry about. It is there so the person reading your mail can   
   read it as expected.
