    You can mail your .signature in color but whether your friends can read 
it or not is their problems, they've to set "display mail using:" option to 
"/usr/bin/more" if they're using elm. These ansi codes can't be read in 
newsgroups. ( Maybe some systems can... ) That friend has colour fullname
and he doesn't change it back to normal so we can see the screen turn green.
You can try it with "chfn" in unix. And the title of the news can be added
color too.
