A client shouldn't force their desired behaviour on the game. A client
isn't a Cause, it's a viewport to the information and it should
represent it as faithfully to the anticipated output as it can.

I don't want to give up on MUDlet, it looks amazing and it works and
shows a lot of hard work. I want to promote MUDlet to the players of my
game. It's cross platform. That's beautiful. It means I don't have to
say "For Windows use this for Mac use this" and all the options will
work regardless of what platform, that's heaven and it lets players help
each other.

I was close to promoting MUSHclient for our Windows users, but stopped
short because I ran into some confusing arrogance. They don't let you do
aliases with variable (0 to X) number of arguments. The answer: users
should script it. That's ridiculous. I have no idea what level of tech
savvy other games enjoy in with playerbases, but ours ranges from 18
years old to 60+ a FEW of whom might be able to write their own scripts,
but most would just copy/paste code and would have no idea what to do
beyond that and as a game administrator, we don't want to support
clients, we want to support the game.

Again, I really want to promote this client, it looks awesome and I
think it can work, please is there not something that can be done in the
build? If it's a technical limitation (like, is it a drawing issue?) I
can accept that even though I've never encountered this before.

Title:
  does not resolve the \t character

Status in Mudlet the MUD client:
  New

Bug description:
  Mudlet does not seem to support the \t character (tab). On muds where
  this is used, Mudlet prints nothing. It does not indent at all. What
  is expected is either showing the tab character or 8 spaces, but
  neither happens, and things that are aligned using tabs make things
  look all wonky, like maps, etc.

  Mudlet: 2.1
  OS: OSX 10.8.2
