I keep a commented out portion in my golded.conf that supports CP437 and
displays everything as expected. But for the most part I'm skimming over the
BBS advertisement echos and reading writing messages. While doing that I prefer
my UTF-8 configuration.

I think over in the husky development echo there were recently a couple Russian
posts using CP866. While those would probably look like garbage while using
CP437, they look perfectly fine in UTF-8. :) 

Regards,
Nick
