    Hello, Chris!

    fts-0009.001

    ^AMSGID: origaddr serialno
    The originating address should be specified in a form that constitutes a valid return address for the originating network.

    Original network is the vanilla FidoNet, I guess. It would be hard to constitute a valid return address from "303.fidoutf8@1:103/705".

    @PID: Synchronet 3.20a-Win32 master/12f48d226 Feb 24 2023 MSC 1929

    The date after the serial field is confusing

    @TID: SBBSecho 3.20-Linux master/b802e8326 Feb 24 2023 GCC 12.2.0

    TIDs follow the same format used for PIDs, as explained above.

    The date after the serial field is confusing

    ^ACHRS: <identifier> <level>
    First level of internationalisation, using seven bit character sets. Most
    of these are based on US ASCII, with minor internationalisation
    variations.

    Not sure if this utf-8 echo-conference is the right place for tesing the 7-bit encodings.

    @NOTE: FSEditor.js v1.104

    Custom kludges can be ignored.

    Indeed there is. The CHRS kludge is correct.

    Golded shows garbage and goated shows two rectangles meaning "no glyph".

    But if I reply with Winv as external editor in Golded I can see two characters that look like Chinese to me.

    Multimail also shows garbage.

    It says Tang-Dynasty. There was a chinese restaurant here with that name.

    If I reply from multimail I get notepad kladblok as external editor and that displays it correct.

    Notepad handles UTF-8 quit well but the last time I tried it as external editor for Golded it insisted on adding a BOM to the message text. That was many years ago so maybe newer versions of notepad do not do that anymore. Adding or using a BOM in UTF-8 text is considered obsolete practise.

    Here, on Windos 11, Notepad does not require a BOM.

    Try Notepad++. It works pretty fine as an external editor in GoldED.

    It does not default add a BOM either.
