What specifically do you not get?  Do you have any specific questions?
Personally I'm still a little confused about how .msg and .asc are supposed to
be different.  It sounds like they both can contain ASCII and CP437 characters,
and I know they both can contain Synchronet color/attribute codes that will be
displayed only if the user has a compatible (ANSI) terminal.  I'm not sure why
I'd choose .msg over .asc and vice-versa.
