    You may be able to fix that on your hub (VERT, I assume). There's options like "Use UTF-8" which you could try disabling, if needed. And as fusion said, there may be some settings on word wrapping in regards to terminal widths, etc.

    no, it's not. not for him. why inject Synchronet and some NNTP
    clients into it? that's like me telling you my car runs fine when
    yours is overheating.

    Actually, it was brought up because this started out as a Synchronet only network. So while many things may work for Synchronet and Synchronet's NNTP service out of the box, it may not with Mystic, which then is where I went into the next paragraph.

    clients, also. I'm guessing since you can't actually post a
    UTF-8 message with Mystic, that mystic doesn't support
    displaying UTF-8 properly, either.

    yes, see, you understand what i said, you just wanted to talk about
    something else first.
    Yep. To try and give an idea as to why it may not work for him, or you, I suppose. James started supporting QWK networking with Mystic, and then, IIRC asked DM if he would allow Mystic systems to connect to Dovenet (maybe even warning of possible issues that might crop up).

    Some of these settings on VERT for QWK nodes to configure may even have been added /because/ of Mystic.
