Just be sure you adjust your font so that it is a fixed-width font. (in Windows, Courier New works good.)

Ya,in the message boxes,but in the _chat_ you can type endless chars....... the thing is,if you send an ascii in the _chat_ and it is larger than an unknown ammount it will have odd results and can make you lose your connection to the other's in your chat.Thats what i was talkin about.

In which case, it might be wise to use a program that types with a delay, since ICQ is tailored for an average typing speed... Say .5 of a second? I wonder if such a program exists? If not, I might make it - Seems like it could be quite a simple project. Give me IRC any day...
