|     You do realize that you have just posted color codes yourself, in 
|violation of your own post.
|
|     BBS systems which pull newsgroups many times use "pipe" color codes, 
|meaning that the | followed immediately by a number will produce colors on 
|some systems, such as mine.  This is not intentional but can be annoying as 
|it produces unpredictable results.

I doubt that it will like my quotey bar then eh? Well the fact is that pipe
| characters are very often used in ascii art so if you can`t see them then
the ascii art is going to look pretty crap in this group anyway.

|1 |2 |3 ??? is that how it works?
hmmm
|14 yellow?

Ahh well... If I understand correctly it only happens when the | is followed
by a number, which rarely occurs (it does sometimes though!)

|4 Red?
