Hi, I'm using mutt's .signature file to send a figlet ASCII signature. It appears correctly wrapped in Yahoo classic web-based client, and also nicely displayed in Gmail with Google chrome's add-on for plain text. Yet in new yahoo web-based client interface the figlet signature is distorted. I've tried sending it all ways around with different formats, tab expanding and no tab expanding, etc. Anyone got this issue? Any ideas why?

Are they displaying the lines in a proportional font?

The normal signature: #### ## # # # # # # # # ## ## # # # # # # ## # # # # ###### # # # # # # # # # # # # #### # # # # # ###### The distorted signature: #### ## # # # # # # # # ## ## # # # # # # ## # # # # ###### # # # # # # # # # # # # #### # # # # # ###### It eats two spaces on the first line and one on the last line, no idea why. I used proportional font.

Surely it'd be better to use a monospace font? Maybe there's CSS for the signature display, which could be altered to make it right? -- Jeremy C B Nicoll - my opinions are my own.

Ok.The problem was due to sending the e-mail as text/plain. If I send it as html and edit the CSS, the signature is displayed properly. Thank you!
