The trick is to read the message in a non proportional font e.g.
courier.

Yes it is possible BUT it would mean that all binary data would have
to be UUencoded (Unix to Unix binary to ascii conversion) and then
decoded at the other end. Some mailers do this automatically others
don't. Doing this manually can be a bit daunting if you are not used
to it. We have to go for the lowest common denominator I'm afraid.
A way around it is if you have a diagram or photo you think will be
useful for everyone to see, just send me a copy. I will store it in
the europa FTP directory on the avnet computer. People can then
download it at their leisure with any FTP utility (netscape and WinCim
have one built in). Just take a look at ftp.avnet.co.uk/pub/europa and
see how many G-EMIN has posted !

PS Many apologies for forwarding the business card e-mail. It is the
first time I have come across such a message, I fell for it hook, line
