Public bug reported:

Mudlet 2.1, Win7 x64

I don't believe this is a duplicate of #1110243.

It appears that mudlet fails to capture certain GMCP messages when ANSI
sequences are embedded. An easy place to test this is on Aardwolf MUD.
Create a new character, and from the starting room (the "recall"
location) head 4 south. Note that this room sends gmcp.room.info just
fine (as will all rooms with the default room name color). Now, step 1
west. Note that the room name has a different color. Looking at
gmcp.room.info, you will still see the info from the _previous_ room -
Mudlet's GMCP has failed to capture the ANSIfied roomname string ( I
confirmed with folks using other clients that the gmcp data is in fact
being sent correctly).

On this particular mud, there is a workaround available by doing a
sendGMCP("rawcolor on"), and then parsing out the in-game custom color
codes with a bit of string manipulation. However, others on the mud
mentioned coming across similar issues on other muds that embed ansi
sequences.
