Hallo Nancy!

 NB> [the above set came on four separate lines for at least one bbs]

That particular bbs would be substituting 0x0d for 0x8d while the rest are
stripping the 0x8d from the utf8 characters completely which of course
completly corrupts them.  In this example I only posted 4 16 bit characters
with 0x8d as the trailing byte but there are definetly more that will get
corrutped, not to mention the 24 bit and 32 bit characters.  I posted two
emoticons (32 bit) to Ozz that will get corrupted by the same bbses.  They will
 no longer be valind utf8 characters whether just stripped or substituted with
an ascii (C0) control code.  The substitued ones will be more obvious as to
what form of corruption occurs.

Sad times indeed.  :::sigh:::

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
