Regardless of how YOU compose the message, it may look great and cool to you, but you have NO control over how it appears on the recipient's computer, so in effect, it is a moot point anyway! Even if you (((***GROAN***))) use HTML composition, if the recipient does not have the font installed on *THEIR* system, it is a waste of time (and bandwidth)! The recipient does NOT see your carefully crafted "artwork." -- Warmest tropical wishes, Spike How can I miss you if you never go away? /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign - Against HTML Mail \ / If it aint a webpage it shouldn't be HTML.
