All very nice, but there are dozens of ways to post output of a particular utility in a Fidonet message. How about this:
root@OpenWrt:~# help Built-in commands: ------------------ . : [ [[ alias bg break cd chdir command continue echo eval exec exit export false fg getopts hash help jobs kill let local printf pwd read readonly return set shift source test times trap true type ulimit umask unalias unset wait
root@OpenWrt:~#
Just copy and paste will do it...

You are comparing apples and fish if not apples and bandirsnatch. Linux is an operating system, Fidonet is an amateur network. There is a lot more to linux than just Fidonet and there is a lot more to Fidonetthan just Linux. There is a small overlap. You just pointed it out. So have I ever seen something like that in Fideonet? Yes, you just pointed it out.
MK> BTW the msg scanner part shows your message as: text/plain; charset=utf-8
So?

"0xEF,0xBB,0xBF" is a well formed UTF-8 byte sequence. That the utility of your choice can not gracefully deal with it is not my problem.
