It is just wrongly encoded. The        MvV>> enconding is Latin-1 while it should be UTF-8.               CJ> I call the latin-number codepages and the DOS codepages and the        CJ> Windows codepages all legacy, regardles if they are wrongly encoded or        CJ> not.              OK, fair enough. But be aware that according to the CHRS kludge your message       is encoded in a legacy as well...               MvV>> Your message was encoded in CP437. That does not work well for        MvV>> quoting UTF-8 text...               CJ> I see. That is a Vertrauen BBS thing.              AKAIK Synchronet BBS is capable of doing UTF-8. So I would expect it to reply       in UTF-8 when quote replying to a UTF-8 encoded message.                     Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: http://www.vlist.eu (2:280/5555)       SEEN-BY: 106/201 114/705 123/120 124/5016 153/757 7715 154/10 203/0       SEEN-BY: 218/700 840 220/70 221/0 6 226/17 30 227/114 229/111 112       SEEN-BY: 229/113 307 317 426 428 470 700 240/1120 5832 250/5 8 267/800       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 5555 292/854 8125 298/25 301/1 305/3 310/31       SEEN-BY: 317/3 320/219 341/66 234 410/9 423/120 460/58 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 770/100 340 772/210 220 230 5019/40 5020/1042 12000       PATH: 280/5555 464 770/1 317/3 229/426           |
