Displaying HTML text on a non-graphical console

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• a data bus coupled to the processor;
• a memory coupled to the data bus;
• and
• a computer-usable medium embodying computer program code, the computer program code comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for:
• receiving, at a receiving console that lacks software for displaying a HyperText Markup Language (HTML) coded message, an HTML coded message that includes a text message that has been encoded using a sender's character set;
• identifying a character map pseudonym of a current character map of the receiving console;
• identifying the sender's character set that was used to encode the text message;
• identifying true character map names of character maps that are available to the receiving console;
• using the character map pseudonym to perform a first fuzzy search of the true character map names of the character maps that are available to the receiving console, wherein the first fuzzy search identifies a console character map that is identified by the character map pseudonym;
• using the sender's character set to perform a second fuzzy search of the true character map names of the character maps that are available to the receiving console, wherein the second fuzzy search identifies a sender's character map that is associated with the sender's character set;
• and
• transencoding, if the sender's character map and the console character map are different, the text message from the sender's character map to the console character map.
