Hello everyone, I wrote a fun little program called Ascii Mailer. You
can try it out here:

     Hey James! 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!
