Problems with my sig-file
alt.ascii-art
· 9 messages · 9 Feb 1998 - 21 Feb 1998
Hey, I was wondering whether any of you can help me. I used to use an ASCI sig, which I was really stoked with, and when people used Netscape communicator, It came out cool, but if someone looked the same mesage in Outlook it looked lame, like the spaces were all mucked up. Does anyone know what I can do? I guess it must be somthing to do with the fonts, Is there like a font which will make it look cool whatever. Thanks for any help Tris

Martin, as far as I can tell you didn't change your sig, so I'm guessing
your newsfeed didn't get this message... included... would e-mail to
you, but missing some data :)

You have to make sure you have TWO spaces in front of every character...
