I would argue that unless the email is text/html (as opposed to text/plain) and actually specifies a font to be used that the only sensible way to render it is with monospaced fonts (which is what most sensible email clients already do that haven't had their defaults modified); unless of course my entire Internet expirience up to now has been a deream... Please consider that the only email clients that seem to have problems with the PLUG footer (or any other ASCII art sig), are Outlook and Gmail (and possibly other webmail interfaces that make the same mistake). At least with Gmail if you click on ``Show original'' it will actually get the right font. It looks like the PLUG signature has changed already... I also note that you are using PINE so it probably renders perfectly for you already. :-) Andy -- GnuPG ID 0xA63888C9 (D2DA 68C9 BB2B 26B4 8204 2219 A43E F450 A638 88C9) [-----------[system uptime]--------------------------------------------] 12:26pm up 82 days, 21:04, 2 users, load average: 1.00, 1.00, 1.00 -- PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net
