there is no ANSI to turn on. Not everyone uses Mystic as a mail reader.

It is odd, the same thing happened to Meatlotion a few weeks back. (At
least I think it was meatlotion)

It was a text he typed out and for some reason mystic decided to put it
in ANSI with all the cursor control codes every where.

Although, on my system, your original message was in yellow. Why that is,
I don't know.

It is strange. I've seen that happen a number of times and I don't know why that happens.

Some setup's don't send mail until you log off so you can edit a message before you do that. In all the cases I have seen the messages had been re-edited before sending or they were forwarded. Also, in all cases (that I saw) the signatures had pipe codes. I wonder if those pipe codes make Mystic's editor go into ansi mode and then save those messages like that. It's another one of my observations that I am not sure of.

I have no problem with ansi messages, they can look great. But not everyone is going to be able to read them depending on what is being used to read them.

Yeah, same. I don't mind them at all, but it is concerning if it's doing
it of it's own accord rather than deliberate.

Another thing I notice when I log into mystic boards, is often messages
have huge gaps in them. Almost like someone wrote a paragraph, then held
the enter key down for a page or so and wrote the next paragraph.

Do you know anything about that one? It may have been fixed, because I'm
not noticing it so much now.

I've heard that but I haven't seen it on my own setup. I've seen some posts from Mystic BBSs that just end at some point mid message. No tear or origin line but there too.. I haven't seen it in my own setup so it's just a mystery.

Do you know anything about that one? It may have been fixed, because I'm not noticing it so much now.

I hope but I am not sure. I would give g00r00 feedback if I saw these things or know what was happening.

No idea what you did to it then, but it surely came out ANSI in a variety of colours and a page clear at the top that confounds 9 out of 10 message readers. Let alone a client doing ANSI or ASCII... Might be an abberation like the last one we saw...

That being the case why'd you go the busted butt comment in support of it I'm also not sure.

Yep, I see it.. then I go on with whatever I am doing and forget about it.

If it would break and stay broke it would be easier to fix. Hopefully g00r00 can get eyes on that and figure out a solution.

I don't see much in the way of soft cr's anymore. I never see them in Synchronet and I set "DISPSOFTCR NO" in my golded.cfg so I don't see them.

Hi All,

Hey all. Just did some more digging on this post.

So what happened was that Todd had posted it originally to the Mystic echo. I then forwarded the post to this echo as well as the bbs support and fsx admin echos. I did this from Agency running A46. You can see that in the original post as it's Agencys tearline at the bottom of Todds post.

I checked his original post to the mystic echo here at 1/100 and it's not showing as ansi in golded... so my working theory at the moment is that it was when I opted to forward the message using Mystic that for some reason it became an ansi post in the echos I forwarded it to.

Weiredness.

Best, Paul.

Hmm, I know for QWK, you can choose to strip out the CTRL-A codes or convert them to ANSI (or keep them as is, which is more useful for QWK networking). You may be thinking of pipe codes or something else too. So many codes, at least ANSI is well supported by BBS software.
