The server ought to send back every combination of font and format. Or don't do any special formatting, just left-justify every font and include some sample formats they can emulate and tweak. Just take the subject line: SIG: text to be sigged and send the response back to the sender. Keep it simple on the server program and let the requestor do the fun stuff :-) Paul Kline pk6...@acad.drake.edu - ignorance exceeded only by inquisitance -
