|Hi all!
|
|I have a signature file ascii graphic that a friend made for me (seen
|below) that reads fine when I use Netscape, but when it's viewed on
|Outlook Express (the Microsoft Internet Explorer email porogram), it's
|just a jumbled mess. The signature file is below. If it reads properly
|you should see "Eagle One" written below. Is there a way to make sure
|that this signature file can be seen on all the programs others may have
|who I email to?
|
|Please respond directly to me as well as to the group if you wish. I may
|not get to read the answer if it's only posted to the group.
|
|Thank you in advance for your help.

'----------------------------------

Your Outlook Express is probably set to Arial or some other Proportional
font... switch it to a Fixed Width one such as FixedSys, Lucida Console or
Courier.
(It's difficult to get it into FixedSys without my patch which I hope Colin
Randall will post since I don`t have it handy)

Hope this helps,
