I've got a fetish at the moment with 4 line ascii's for sigs.
I use 'mutt' as my mail client and was trying to do the logo
http://mutt.org/image/mutt_button.gif

I'm pretty happy with the face/head, but the body and legs suck.
Any suggestions?

Hehe - you kept the bits I thought sucked and changed the bits I
was happy with.  Thanks for the ideas though.

I diddled some more with what I had - now his ass is vertical!?
I dunno.

G'day mate.

:) Good choice of mail client ;)

I found your index view hard to read, but looks like you're using
the folder view patch or something similar?

My index format is this:

index_format="%4C %Z %[%d/%m/%y] %-15.15F : %s"

Without going into the whole ascii table the short answer is that if
it is on a normal 102 key keyboard then it is ascii.  ` is ascii.

I won't have a chance to do that today.  Once I get off work I am
going to see a religious movie with a bunch of atheists.  Sometimes I
amaze even myself with the things I do in the name of entertainment.

I can type several non-ascii chars with my normal keyboard.
Maybe you meant a US-keyboard ?

As far as I know 102 keyboards are mostly US keyboards with the
exception of the GB ones that have the pound or sign on them.  But
yes, US keyboard.  Check the alt.ascii-art FAQ for the ascii table.
It will tell you which keys are allowed.

Ermm .. Faux this is me here .. CeeJay *waves*. :)
I've been doing ascii for so many years now, that I know the chars by heart ..
and you should know that since you've been posting here for a few years as well.

I was merely pointing out that a "normal" 102 key keyboard varies from country
to country.

I have 4 different types of normal keyboards in my "collection" (of old
hardware and other junk)
Danish , Swedish , German and US English.

I use a danish keyboard for everyday use.

       What about the normal 88 key keyboard (as I'm using)? Or 
the normal 104-key keyboard that's so popular in non-US 
countries?
       The table is widely distributed. e.g.:

and several other representations are at 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII
       Being strict, even that table isn't correct - ASCII was 
originally only UPPER CASE, so you could drop the bottom line and 
a fair bit of the punctuation.

Everyone knows that 88 keys is not normal.  :)

>>  !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?
>> @ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_
>> `abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~

anyway that about sums it up.  If it isn't on that list it isn't
ascii.
