We obviously don't use the same definition of a troll.

Hello, Bjߘ�rn Felten.

CHRS kludge and actual encoding do not match...

Unfortunately, there is no way to customize or set anithing else on utf-8 encoding more than "use utf-8" on hotdoged.

Wrote the host of the trolls ...

Whatever. Fact is Bj�rn does not give non-sysops access to sysop
echos.

Yes, you're right, now, after that the troll exposed his access to the sysop areas, Björn revoked the access to non sysop users.

But the discussion shifted on the way a sysop could be forced to revoke access to trolls in general. ;)

But we're running on a wasted land as everyone knows, so I quit. :)

At least it does support UTF-8 natively without any trick or work arounds... ;-)

I agree with you, the matter is that I have set the "UTF-8" since I started using this client for the first time. :)

Maybe the quoting from another message maybe confuse it.

Let's try: this is the O with the double dots on top:

Ö

How do you see it?


P.S. What is a SysOp? :P

As you described. :-)

Hello Fabio,

On Friday March 26 2021 21:16, you wrote to me:

Double dots on top, double dots above, capital O with umlaut, capital O with diaresis, it is the same thing...


Cheers, Michiel

In my reply, your UTF-8 char was converted to the CP437
equivalent. Can your message reader not display CP437?

I think that the conversion corrupted the character.

BTW who cares about the O with the double dots on top? :D

(Now Michiel is departing from Netherlands with his axe, destination Rome!) :P :P :P

I think you're right. Now I see the strange character with the "?" in the meddle that means "not recognized". :)

Whatever. Fact is Bj.rn does not give non-sysops access to sysop echos.

But he does give them access to netmail, where they write messages worded
to make one think they are a sysop (if they don't know better).

Do you not give your BBS users access to netmail?
