Hi Ali, I use Terminal with Windows 95 and UW uses PINE. I'm surfing from
home also. I have gotten 3 emails with color control codes and they look
great with no ill effects. I have never sent out color ascii art since I
don't know what would happen. I guess you could ask the Usenet group
comp.mail.pine

Take care & back up your hard drive often, Jon Melusky
