I think those are mainly complaints about control chars (ASCII from 0 to
31) and I agree that joe has to do something about those.
Currently, joe treats 128+ ASCII characters specially too, which is not
really a good idea, I think (well, it does me more harm than good when
replying to messages with French accents or pound signs :))
Should I file a bug against joe, requesting -asis by default? The end-user
can always disable it again, but it might be better if we changed the
default.
Have fun,
Avery
