When I send my Ascii-art signature to a friend on America Online, It arives all messed up. I removed all trailing spaces from the signature, and it still aris skewed. The America Online mail window looks narrow to me. Also, if she prints out my messages, the signature looks fine! Any ideas? Thanks, Scott -- ****

Have her click on the zoom box (if Mac) or the maximize box (if Windows), both in the upper right hand corner of the message window. The mesage window will then take up the full screen, and everything should line up correctly. Also, make sure that she's chosen a monospaced font as the System font under Font Preferences in the Set Preferences command's dialog box. Set preferences can be found under America OnLine's Member menu. _ ___ _ | | {~._.~} | | David Lawrence, Member of the Digerati __| | __ ___ m_( Y_)_m| | Host, Online Tonight With David Lawrence / _` |/ _` \ \ / / |/ _` | USENET: alt.radio.online-tonight | (_| | (_| |\ \ /| | (_| | AOL area: keyword "OLT" www: soon! \__._|\__._| \_/ |_|\__._| V: 301/854-5459 F:301/854-5085
