Fixed Size Fonts and the others

More and more people use netscape to read their mail, with non-fixed size
fonts...

Has anyone of you a trick to impose the fixed size font, or to transfer
the ascii drawing so that it still makes sense under Netscape and such ?

	Thanx !

	Denis.

I know that, but I can't tell the people to do it everytime I send a
mail... All I'm looking for is a little program that would convert my
signature so that it looks good in Times New Roman for example...

You can't force it on somebody, they will have to do the changes
themselves, at the receiving end (and unless you know _exactly_ how the
other computer is set up you can't send pictures made with a
proportional font and expect it to look good).

That's true but I think it's a shame!!!!!

It makes no sense to mail under netscrap. My advice ... use normal e-mail
proggis like pine (also avaible for BillGates-rubbish) eudora, roam.
Sorry, but this is my opinion.

Just keep using the ascii in email--the more people see it and wonder 
why there's these vomit-looking things at the bottom of these email, the 
more people will figure out what to do with it.  Soon,  everyone will 
read email in a fixed font (or someone will come out with an email 
program that looks for a signature flag, say "--"&CR, then automatically 
switches to a fixed font... programmers amoung us, whaddayasay?)

Anyone know how to get a fixed width font to view messages in M$ 
Outlook Express.  I could do it in M$IM but I can't get it in this new version.

Bleh, Nutscrape does nothing but eat my memory, use pine :)  But, if you
go into configuration, email and news settings (or something similar to
that) there are email font options, i recomment courier new or fixedsys for
your ascii viewing.

I heard somebody call that program "N�tskr�p" (should be "Natskrap",
with two little dots over each a) which means "Netrubbish" in Swedish.
