I was using VIM. Downloaded a QWK Packet and opened it in multimail and
edited it using VIM. I don't see those codes at all, so I'm not sure why they
are popping up.
Thanks for letting me know, I'll do a bit of troubleshooting.
By the way, I'm actually using VIM over a SSH session, so maybe it that
combination that is doing it.
