To be honest, there's only a few echos that "fancy" ascii (ANSI) drawings are
posted. I would rather be able to read/write UTF-8 than look at fancy stat
screens.

That's one thing nice about jamnntpd. You can force areas to be certain
charsets. So for instance, I have all of them set to CP437, but then force most
to use UTF-8 instead. I wish that was as easily doable with golded (I have yet
to try moving things around into groups to attempt something like this - all I
have right now is groups containing different networks).

I tried the "-c" option as well, and it seemed like it reverted everything back
to how my console displayed things without tmux. So now, I just run tmux, then
run golded inside.

Regards,
Nick
