That sounds perfectly reasonable. Probably the best way to do that would be
for each user to set his own default setting -- ascii or graphical -- for
all boards, then use the show command to see the board in the opposite
format if desired. Since I would use entirely ascii boards, I wouldn't use
this option. The fact that this game server returns text-based emails is the
only thing that makes it workable for me, and I was extremely grateful when
I happened upon it. I wish I could find some other game sites that offered
non-graphical representations, even as an option.
