Oh... I didn`t scroll down enough to see that Colin had included my
'MiniFAQ' too... yes that is an old version of it before I spotted the minor
typo... this is how it reads in *my* file...
If you can`t find any of the fonts on the list, please try looking at this
in all fonts available:
iiiii iiiii iiiii iiiii|
mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm|
In a fixed width font, both of the | symbols should match in distance from
the left side of the screen. If you find a common font that isn`t on the
list, please email mar...@bigfoot.com and tell me about it, along
with what operating system/computer it is from.
.---- To get a Monospaced/Fixed Width font in MS Outlook Express -->
|Click Tools/ Options.
|Click the Read tab.
|Click the Fonts button.
|Select Courier or another fixed width font for ALL of the listboxes.
|Select Smallest.
|Click OK.
|Click OK.

As for the other point, I`ll leave that one to Matthew Thomas... It`s his
FAQ after all :o)
Thanks!
