I want to use this as my sig, and it looks great on e.mail sent in html. But
on the usenet in plain text its just not right.
Can someone help, is it possible to use it in plain text too?
TIA

I just tried that, and it looked weird. -- Huw Pritchard Send spam straight to your ISP's abuse mailbox. That's where it'll end up, anyway.

I am viewing this group using a fixed width font. Your image was instantly recognizable and looked great to these tired old eyes. ATB Charles Kincaid
OK I know I'm being thick here, no the line doesnt look staright, but if I change it to html and change the font it does, but I can't seem to change the font on plain text e.mail When I send regular e.mail in html I use fixedsys font, and the pic looks great. You are obviously seeing in the newsgroup what I see on my e.mail........what am I doing wrong? In OE5 I have told it to use the fixedsys font in news and mail, but it simply doesnt do it in news. Appreciate any further help you can give me BTW if you change your font to times new roman, you will see what I am seeing.

You just tell everyone who's complaining about your sig that they should set their readers to a fixed-width font or that they should cut and paste the sig to Notepad... -- Peter Punk \ / ---\\\\--- / \ Visit my MIDI-site at http://members.xoom.com/miditation/index.html (The guestbook is finally online.)

Forget that last message, I have found it now. I was changing the font in the wrong place. The line now looks straight.
