Hi,

I'm using mutt's .signature file to send a figlet ASCII signature. It
appears correctly wrapped in Yahoo classic web-based client, and also
nicely displayed in Gmail with Google chrome's add-on for plain text.
Yet in new yahoo web-based client interface the figlet signature is
distorted. I've tried sending it all ways around with different
formats, tab expanding and no tab expanding, etc. Anyone got this
issue? Any ideas why?

Are they displaying the lines in a proportional font?

The normal signature:
         ####    ##   #    # # #
        #    #  #  #  ##  ## # #
        #      #    # # ## # # #
        #      ###### #    # # #
        #    # #    # #    # # #
         ####  #    # #    # # ######

The distorted signature:

        ####    ##  #    # # #
        #    #  #  #  ##  ## # #
        #      #    # # ## # # #
        #      ###### #    # # #
        #    # #    # #    # # #
        ####  #    # #    # # ######
It eats two spaces on the first line and one on the last line, no idea
why. I used proportional font.

/You/ used a proportional font?  Surely it'd be better to use a monospace
font?   Maybe there's CSS for the signature display, which could be altered
to make it right?

Sorry...I meant I didn't use proportional font (I used Courier New,
which isn't). I will try with CSS.

Ok.The problem was due to sending the e-mail as text/plain. If I send
it as html and edit the CSS, the signature is displayed properly.
Thank you!
