I finally figured why MUTIL doesn't want to properly post/upload an ANSI file. It's because it expects a text file of max. 80 chars width... so if the line
is bigger, it truncates it to 80 chars and messes up the ansi. :(

One way to reduce the size of the lines, is to convert the ansi escape codes
to mystic color codes and with some editing and luck, it will be fine.

So, to upload complicate ansis with many colors and stuff, is not easy or not possible at all, except by uploading the file, directly to the message editor. Which means, that the message editor does support (internally) lines with 80+ chars, but MUTIL not or it truncates them. Hope this is fixed in some future version.

Or you can load the ansi into the mystic ansi editor, and save it with no
CRLF and line length at 79 chars, and boom it works. That's what I do =)

That's do the trick :) Awesome! Mystic Ansi Editor, does some fine job saving ANSI files, very clever things.

Thank you!
