ANSI runs

In 3.04 (Tho haven't seen note of a correction in later versions), the last bit of background ANSI will ALWAYS run to the end of the line, and then on until the client sees text again, and sometimes even when it does. Quite annoying, when the BG ansi is something like blue or green with black text.

Since I do a lot of time lugging my systems with MUSHClient around (especially laptops) and since I also am going to soon start to help kids that are blind or have other disabilities (incl. epilepsy) learn MUSHing, computers, and the net, this could be...bad.

Sideways question: Does MUSHClient support JAWS? (http://www.hj.com/JAWS/JAWS.html)

The problem with colours bleeding to the edge can be corrected under Global Preferences.

Go to File -> Global Preferences -> General and uncheck "bleed background colour to edge".

As for JAWS, I hadn't heard of it before, but it sounds like it might have a COM interface.

In that case you might be able to write a simple script that interfaces with it. For example a trigger matching on "*" (ie. everything) could then send the trigger text to the text-to-speech converter.

There is also a note under MUSHclient bug/suggestion number #321 which might help too.
