That ASCII Mailer thing is great! You just need some more ASCIIs. Four isn't a very good selection, it will really limit the number of people using it. Really great idea though. The only thing is, it leaves the message subject line blank, and I automatically assume that those emails I get are spam, so I delete them without even reading them. Also, you should add a input box where people can put a text message as well, unless that ruins the idea of the whole thing.Later. If you want to use any of the ones I post in this message, you can. .. .. .''..''. .--~~--. .``..``. .:'' `----' `----' ``:. | . ( * ) ( * ) . | .' .... `.

Thanks Lester, I agree with all of your points. I guess I'll call this the beta version. Preference at this time is to use little images; because of how the program is written, a larger image would cause the speech balloon to line wrap. Also, images with a lot of backslashes sometimes need to be altered a bit; a backslash has a special programming function in Perl. You're right though - the two biggest issues are the Subject field and the number of images available right now. Submissions are welcome!
