I think you are having a problem with what font is being used to display your message. With a fixed font, all characters are the same width. That is, a period (.) has the same width as an M or a W. In a variable font, they will be of quite different width and lines will not line up. For my email, I read it in Biststream Vera Sans Mono. For my terminal (konsole), I use Fixed [Misc]. I use Seamonkey as my email client ant it has specific settings to specify the fonts for Message Display and Send Format. It also can get a little tricky when deciding what Character Encoding to use. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
