I think the problem is that you're not sending your posts as plain text, but as HTML. (I use Hotmail, and instead of seeing the fixed width font, like Courier New or Andale, I saw a proportional font, which I change a lot from plain-jane Times New Roman, to Garamond, to Tahoma, to Book Antiqua, to Metropol...) What do you use for your e-mail client? I reckon you could just go into Options and find somewhere that mentions sending e-mail in fixed width or HTML. It would be much better if you went in plain text anyway, since a lot of us can't read HTML. It appears to some as a bunch of HTML commands in plain text, making the message hard to read. (You know, something like <font size=3><b>Conlang</b><p> or however it goes.) Danny ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
