   Hello Rob,   
      
   On Thursday March 02 2023 17:02, you wrote to me:

   The message I am respondig to, is indeed encoded in CP437.   
      
   So let me get this straight:   
      
   1) If the message that is responded to, is encoded in CP437, Synchronet   
   answers in CP437. Yes?   
      
   So what happens if the response does not fit into CP437?   
      
   What happens if the original message is encoded in a one byte encoding other   
   than CP437?   
      
   2) If the message that is responded to is encoded in UTF-8, Synchronet answers   
   in UTF-8 if the terminal theis used supports UTF-8. Yes?   
      
   So what happens in that case if the terminal does not support UTF-8?   
      
    >>  RS> Norco, CA WX: 42.0°F, 79.0% humidity, 0 mph NE wind, 0.15   
    >> inches RS> rain/24hrs   
      
   My software translates the CP437 encoded degree sign into UTF-8 as you can see.

    RS> Synchronet does exactly that.   
      
   OK. :-)   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
