I modified dump-html.py to remove the try block and instead accept chatid
directly from args. Not sure if this will actually work. I am getting another issue, will raise another issue.
both id and nickname are supported now
My situation: I am using Ubuntu Server 17.10. Presumably due to the terminal capabilities, I am not able to view the special characters in nicknames in the output of "list-chats.py". They just come up in the terminal as a diamond followed by a space. So it's seemingly impossible for me to pass this nickname to "dump-html.py".
Issue: I don't understand why "dump-html.py" accepts only the nickname and not the username, which is also written out by "list-chats.py". Is it possible for "dump-html.py" to accept the username, e.g. "wxid_45vu0n3vt"?
If not, is it possible for "list-chats.py" to be able to write out the "nickname" using some pure ASCII via some encoding, which could then be decoded inside "dump-html.py"?
Note: Sorry I am not very familiar with Python. I am proficient with Java. Also, I know very little about UNIX character encoding behaviours.
