@bazulay your shell quoting is wrong. If you're going to store commands as shell-quoted strings, then consider https://www.etalabs.net/sh_tricks.html, specifically the section on "Shell-quoting arbitrary strings".

@ankitpokhrel here's decent explanation about which characters are "allowed" by the `C` locale: > The C locale is a special locale that is meant to be the simplest locale. You...

@ankitpokhrel `jira issue list` is also affected: ``` $ LC_ALL=C jira issue list --plain | tr -d '\000-\177' | wc 0 0 42 ```

@ankitpokhrel what are you using for terminal discovery? The first thing I found was this: https://github.com/golang/term Do you have `--plain` printing isolated to a certain place in the source code?...

@ankitpokhrel this is not blocking anything. There is a work-around; i.e., pass `--plain` when executing `jira` without a `tty`. This functionality to detect a terminal on stdin/stdout is however, present...

@ankitpokhrel How do you feel about the following proposals: * `--plain` should always force `jira` to write "plain text" to `stdout` * `--plain` should always force `jira` to ignore any...
