If your server is running C news, you need to modify inews which takes escapes
with 'tr'.

Look for lines like this.

# strip invisible chars from body, a la B news.  bells and escapes are right out.
 case "$trversion" in
 v7)	tr -d  '\1-\7\13\15-\37' ;;
 v6)	tr -d '[\1-\7]\13[\15-\37]' ;;

And modify them to 

 v7)	tr -d  '\1-\7\13\15-\32\34-\37' ;;
 v6)	tr -d '[\1-\7]\13[\15-\32][\34-\37]' ;;
