hmm, for the most part, about the same method I used to create my text
signature, except that was done with vi I believe, (or the internal
editor for midnight commander). BTW, I did get that email also, complete
with the image, but when I reread the message, the message had
disappeared:-(  That was why I was wondering how you got the image.

hehe, actually, there have been occasions when I did use pine to read
some of my mail and found myself in a message that contained html and/or
images.  All pine did was to tell me to use v/s to save the file so it
could be viewed with an external viewer.  But I guess that there are
mail readers that aren't even that advanced:-)  Though for the most part
when I do reply or write to the "list" I generally try to send it in
plain text as I have seen a few negative posts about sending html
messages into the list:-(

Thanx, I'll save this message (and forward it to myself so I can read it
the next time I'm on the linux box:-)  (My better half is using it now
to play bingo or whatever:-)
