Hi. I'm new to this newsgroup, and I was just wondering how to send ascii animation through e-mail. Without having the recipient decode it him/herself, that is. I've seen it done but I can't figure out how to do it myself. Thanks for any help.

Another (since yer on UClink) is to just use pine and send the file as an attachment. -Andrei Andrei Cogan (cog...@soda.berkeley.edu) ||| When in doubt, panic. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Hofstadter's Law: It always takes longer than you think it will take, | | even if you take into account Hofstadter's Law. | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | "Be kind to your brain cells, I say" - Joe B. | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
If your using a text based mail reader (i.e., not Xwindows or something), just have the person type: ext tty I don't no if this works for everybody (probably not), but it works most of the time. If any out there knows the technical side of this, let use know how it works and on what systems. -- _____ _____ ( ___ )------------------------------------------------------------( ___ ) | / | | \ | | / | Just another Phantom of the Opera fan ... | \ | | / | | \ | | / | Joshua David Jensen | \ | | / | | \ | | / | at North Carolina State University | \ | | / | | \ | | / | jdj...@eos.ncsu.edu | \ | | / | | \ | | / | (919) 828-6238 | \ | | / | | \ | (_____)------------------------------------------------------------(_____) -- -- _____ _____ ( ___ )------------------------------------------------------------( ___ ) | / | | \ | | / | Just another Phantom of the Opera fan ... | \ | | / | | \ | | / | Joshua David Jensen | \ | | / | | \ | | / | at North Carolina State University | \ | | / | | \ | | / | jdj...@eos.ncsu.edu | \ | | / | | \ | | / | (919) 828-6238 | \ | | / | | \ | (_____)------------------------------------------------------------(_____)
