Will be waiting for an >answer. I have now received an e-mail reply about this, and it's not good news - (Begin copy of e-mail) Pegasus mail uses a proportional font. eg. iiii mmmm the lines above contain the same number of letters but using a proportional font they LOOK different sizes. When you use notepad all the letters are of the same size so it looks ok. There is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Sorry! The way that I do it is to do it in Notepad, email to my friend, and then get him to cut and paste it back into notepad. Hope this helps. Lee Clark (end copy of e-mail) I assume some e-mail programs use non proportional spacing, which would leave ascii art unmutilated. The only advice I can add to the above is to find out whether this applies. I can send mail in non proportional spacing using Netscape instead of Pegasus, but if the mail reader uses proportional spacing it will still look wrong on receipt. Andy.
