Subject: Underline / Reversing / Blinking ..

Hi All,

I have seen some people sending me mails in pine with some words
underlined...(it was underlined the same way as we do it in MS-WORD)

I want to know how this can be done ?

I want to send a mail to someone with some words underlined...or in
reverse video...so that when he opens his mail in pine(UNIX) he should get
those words as underlined or blinking.

Thanks in Advance
Nayan...!

hi,

See ,What the hell are u guys doing out there?
WE (I mean those who have subscribed to the list) simply don't like
getting useless mails in our boxes.

I think this is not  a place for settling personal scores.
Do it by sending personal mails, please.....

if this tit for tat mail series is going to continue..
I think lot of us will think to sign off.

Dear listmaster ...it's time to put some thought.

No, you don't. Check the archives of this mailing list to find out why. You
could send ansi escape sequences but it would be a very, very braindead idea.

Wise up, honey, it's _not_ UNIX. One of these days, I'll find out just /what/
it is that makes things like you invoke this trademarked four-letter-word
every time you think (?) something magical is happening. Anyway, it doesn't
work with pine, but it does work with Gnus (which also displays smilies), but
if you had been using mail for more than 53 minutes, you would *know* that in
this paragraph, there is underlining, italicising, and boldfacing. Blinking is
a sure sign of a deseased mind.

> what!  i didn't know this could be done!  

Guess what, tosser, this is just the tip of the iceberg of your ignorance.

> i use pc-pine.  

We know. We also understand. We don't forgive, though.

> maybe that's why.

No, it's because you're an annoying, whining, clueless idiot. So, let me
rephrase my hints for you Ken Style:

READ THE FUCKING MANUAL
READ THE FUCKING FAQ
READ THE FUCKING ARCHIVE
CHECK THE FUCKING LINKS [1]

HTH,
Robin

HTML Mail is an abomination unto the face of the earth and unto the RFC. 

If you're going to do it, put it in an attachment where it won't assault
my eyes.

That's lovely. If you don't care for certain threads, purge them with your
filter. You do use one, don't you?

>I think lot of us will think to sign off.

Go for it. You have ignored 100% of the discussion of the .sig issue. Yours is
8 lines long and not delimited with "-- ".

>Dear listmaster ...it's time to put some thought.

Clean up your own act first.
