Hi, guys. Your artwork is the greatest!! Will someone please tell me how to attach a 
signature file to an outgoing AOL E-mail message? Also, how do you get ASCII art to look 
good at AOL? I have an AOL account and one with Sprynet. My sig looks great at Sprynet 
but when I send myself a message (as a test; I'm not just talking to myself. I hope!) it 
looks like garbage on AOL. So now I know that my friends and family have been getting 
stupid looking pictures from me and have probably been thinking that I've lost my mind, 
but they have been too nice to tell me. Please help!!       Georgie

Add that to things that suck about AOL list.  Everything on, about,
related to AOL is always gonna be garbage, its their nature.

America Online uses letters that have BIGGER capitals, they take up space
than regular small characters.  That's why they will come out funny.

Yeah. We knew that. It's called a "proportionally spaced font";
which most fonts are.  Unfortunately THEY ARE ALL SPACED DIFFERENT WAYS.

The **ONLY** way we can all agree to see the same thing
is if we all use a fixed-spacing (typewriter) font
for our drawings.
