Hi: This when trying to broadcast text file but sending image (jpeg). Windows 10 D-Rats latest git code. Obviously if user choose correctly this problem should not occur. Here the traceback: UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x9d in position 65: character maps to

I guess that D-Rats should catch the exception and just log (hopefully only once) that the file can not be sent as it has non-text characters. However as with the other ticket, there is no way to know if a text file is displayable on another platform.
