So your saying that since 'most' people (in your estimations) use MS S S to
read posts, ASCII art should now be writted for /that/ font rather than the
fixed pitch font that people have used for years.

What about UNIX doods who dont have MS Sans Serif on their machines?

Plain text is too plain, so why not post pretty backgrounds nice fonts, and
JPG picture .sigs using HTML?

I set Agent to display messages in Tahoma, does that mean that I should
/encode/ my ASCII art so that only people reading in Tahoma can read it?
