    what command line are you using and can you provide a copy of the file you are trying.

    you should see that my trump image posted fine. that was via post.js


    None of your ansi's made it correctly in slymail, probably works on the normal board though.
    Wondering if Multimail will handle these things better or more elegant...

    I don't think MultiMail supports ANSI at all. I'm fairly certain Slymail does, though. Double check your config.

    isnt there a combo key you press to show it in ansi?

    MM does support it, but you have to hit a key first to display it, and I am
    not sure how well it handles screens created without DOS CRLFs.

    Ah, good to know. Thanks. I've never seen anything but black and white in MM, but I'm not an avid user of it, either.

    Yep, as DW said, if you're looking at an ANSI message in MM, hit the 'V'
    key to View it as ANSI. Usually seems to work pretty well.

    It seems at a glance the CodeFenix and Most of the Cru fella's ansi's work, except for like the last 2 adverts posted, all others you've done, do not.
    all of the test ones and whatnot, but again could be as you said.. mod or whatnot that isn't configured properly to handle all cases.
    In any case, I'll blame it on A.I. :P
