When I was looking at changing the rules in this echo more than 10 years
ago, I researched that very question as best I could.  I could find no
evidence that it was true -- nor could I find anyone who could give an
example where it had happened.

There is no policy in Fido about high ASCII in echos.  That is another
urban legend.  Actually, there is no official policy in Fido about echos
period, just understandings and traditions.

That is the crux of the matter.  If someone posts something using one
code page, and you read it using another -- then it does not appear to
you the way it was intended to look.  That is the only problem that can
occur.

  tortilla, add a teaspoon of salsa and any of the other
  toppings as desired.  Fold up 1/2 inch on each side,

  Comments:  "I tried this last week and couldn't believe
  that I was eating healthy!  The bean mixture
  can be adapted by changing the kind of beans
  (try kidney beans) or omitting the corn, or
  adding your favorite ingredient.  I got more
  servings out of the recipe than the book got out
  of the original recipe, so I guess I put less
  mixture on each tortilla." - Val
