We should start sending mails in ansi. html sucks.

You got me searching sixteencolors.net for an ORLY owl in ansi, :p but the only owl I found had all hellfire in the background (and in its eyes). Curiously enough it came from a document announcing someone would be helping out with "Lord Nemesis's" BBS because Lord Nemesis was busy helping out with Plan 9. Small world.

Sadly I guess a proper bold will break all ansi art, but I for one would rather read than look at pictures, at least on a text terminal, lol. Come to think of it if I used st (which I might, rxvt is looking a bit broken and the gtk junk too bloated on my netbook,) I might actually keep a patched version around (as stb perhaps) just for the occasional look at ansi art, or perhaps a misbehaving program.


I still think that were still in time to not apply the patch and fix buggy apps.. I mean. Current screens doesnt have those limitations to keep maintaining nonsense hacks.

We can probably write a text explaining the issue and a list of affected apps.
