Hey Tony!

 TL> The board has only been in Fidonet for a week (as of tomorrow!),
 TL> so perhaps your nodelist is not quite up to date?

Aha!  Yeah that explains it and I am sure it'll show up in Friday's update.

 TL> I'm using Notepad on Windows,

That explains the BOM at the beginning of your actual text message just before,
"-=> Maurice Kinal wrote to Tony Langdon <=-" on the first line.  I should have
guessed given I've seen it used before in Fidonet and it did the exact same
thing at the first byte of the actual, printable text message.

For the record the BOM is unneeded in utf-8 but it doesn't hurt anything if it
is there.

 TL> which is far more likely to be UTF-8 compliant than Fido compliant

No doubt about that here.  I have yet to see any Fidonet app get it right other
than ones that call up non-native editors such as you and I are doing.

Life is good,
Maurice

... Don't cry for me I have vi.
