Howdy,

So I have a scenario for you, wondering if its a problem or something that just
cannot work.

I often connect to my BBS with iTerm (on my MAC desktop) - so I guess I connect
as a UTF-8 terminal(?) - and things render well.

Occasionally, I also login on my laptop using iTerm (my laptop) - forgetting that I've not logged off from my desktop. So that my read pointers arent messed
up, I ";spy N" to my desktop session to log it off, log off from my laptop and login again - if I
dont do it this way, I end up re-reading messages (because the last read pointers havent been updated)...

Anyway, when I spy on that terminal (so iTerm to an iTerm session) - the display is all messed up - I guess somewhere it is re-translating what it thinks is CP437 to UTF8 (again)?

IE: If I spy Syncterm to a Syncterm session the display is OK, but and spying an iTerm to an iTerm session is messed up.

I remember reading (or watching on youtube?) that you had UTF8 translating doors that are outputting CP437, so I would have thought that spying on a UTF8 terminal from a UTF8 terminal should render well - but it doesnt?

Something you can fix, or cannot?
