[][ hi ...

yeah you're right ... altho' that'll just fix things on his own machine
... wont affect his viewing audience's machines

if Jim's mailers use Ms.Outlook with all default settings they'll
just see mush unless the pic/sig has been padded out with extra spaces
... which will prob'ly make it unreadable in a fixed-width font

i don't know if Ms.Outlook can send or interpret embedded macros which
change the reader's settings ... tho' i do know that user-agent-specific
viruses can be transmitted that way.

if Jim still wants the registry-patch?
i can send ... no problem ... just request
