Yes, and also keep in mind that this is primarily the fidonet AIRGUN
echo.  While as moderator I can deem than ANSI is fine in the echo, I
believe that most of the BBSs in the world actually are DOS based
systems, not Windows or Macs.  ANSI or ASCII should be fine, but RTF,
MIME, and HTML can cause problems on some systems.
