Other patches are for lame but popular telnet-based bbs in Taiwan that exchanges local posts with world wide news, and bloats those posts with full-junk'd ANSI colors.

But bbs is so god d*mn popular here. *Sigh* > Or, please make slave ports just like chinese/mutt. > > To other ports developers: Can we accept localized ports doing just > "changing default configuration to local language"?
