Yes, I see six messages here that came in on Nov 15th.

There are some UTF-8 characters in there that Mystic can't display. You could try converting it to CP437 with iconv:

iconv -f UTF8 -t CP437//TRANSLIT CRYPTOGM.TMP > CRYPTOGM.TXT

I'm not sure if iconv works exactly the same on Mac as it does on linux so YMMV.

Btw, busybox has iconv. Cool. There are quite a few encodings
supported.

busybox iconv --help

I have added that to the script that auto posts it
