The TIN newsreader also wraps lines at 76 columns which can be a real pain with Ascii art pictures because it makes them double-line spaced like Eli Ganam's Very Own Cat. /\_/\ ____/ o o \ /~____ =�= / Eli Ganam. (______)__m_m) The double spacing can also be caused by trailing blanks exceeding the line-wrap column setting. Doesn't time pass quickly when you're having fun. :-) Bye,
