I went to the ascii dictionary someone listed on here and found a few things i liked, i just wanted a few happy birthday things with girls or whatever for a friend who has the internet but can not see embedded objects, it will be his birthday tomorrow. But when i try to copy paste the ones i like to an email they do not work right, they look all smashed together. Is there a simple solution to this?

Copy to notepad first and then copy to your mailprogram

Cheers, Philip -- Philip Newton <nos...@gmx.li> That really is my address; no need to remove anything to reply. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
Thanks to both repleys i will try them both.
