Hello,
I'm a stupid newbie. Can anybody help me to get a better one?
This is made with Courier in notepad. Outlook Express shows it incorrectly.
I hope you can see it.

Courier New, Fixedsytem font or something like that...

I see it just fine. But those "�" thingies aren't proper ASCII
characters, you know. Here, I've fixed it for you:

:     ___________
:    |  _______  |
:    | /  - -  \ |
:    | |  '|'  | |

:  |         '''[] |       (_)

Thanks a lot. Do you have a better idea? I need it for presentation (head of
a letter). A friend of mine said "it's not enough serious(ly?). Excuse my
English.

Es seht sehr gut aus! Never mind what it looks like in OE.

But set your proportional font to Courier New (12 pt. or so) and it should
look okay in OE.

And I'm an unpaid walking billboard for Free Agent... It's a stripped down
version of Agent, but it has everything you need for casual newsreading.

I use it ... it's fine... (and free!)
