E-Mail Signature Art

I know this is gonna sound so lame.  I am looking for some sig ascii art
for the wife to use.  I have found some acii art on the net and in other
peoples e-mails. We are using Eusora Pro 4.01 and everytime I cut and
paste some art, as soon I put it into the signature window of Eudora,
all the formatting changes and get ssquished together.  I paste it into
notepad and it looks fine!  I changed the Eudora font from arial to TNR
and it still gets all screwed up.

Can anyone help?  The wife really wants a cat ascii at the end of her
e-mail. Thanks in advance guys.

Change the font to a monospaced (right word?) font.  The only real
problem here is that when she sends it, if the recipient isn't using a
monospaced font, it'll still look funny.  In some ways, ascii .sig art
ain't what it was back in the days that everyone was using telnet
programs and UNIX shells to read their mail.

You should change the font of your e-mail program to a monospaced font such
as Courier, Lucida Console, Monaco, etc.

yes, monospaced font and fixed-width font
are the same things--  and just about all systems
(outside of AOL) have options that will change
font to a fixed one so that the ASCII art can
be viewed.   Times may have changed with
the use of proportional fonts, but most people still
have the ability to view ASCII art as
intended...

Your font is the problem. The best font is the one Notepad uses
(FixedSys). Next best is courier. Times New Roman is not better than
Arial for ascii art. Though I do like it for web pages.  :)
