Sorry to bother you with yet another piece of mail, but I finally
figured out why that newsletter came to you in such bad format.  It was
one simple setting change I had to make at freelists, which I did not
know about.

So, now that things are fixed, I wanted to send you the contest
instructions again, so you can actually read them.  And, now that the
text setting is working, using ascii characters will actually work!

Of course, if this comes thru as garbage also, then I'm back to the
drawing board here.  *sigh*

I promise you, I will not bother you all again, with additional mail,
but wanted you all to see the instructions for the contest in a more
readable format.  I hope a lot of you will enter this contest!!

CONTEST!  As you can see, I'm trying to "pretty up" the 
text version of this newsletter with plain text art.  So, I'm looking 
for a cool plain text logo for ABC to celebrate our first year.  

Just email your creations to
linda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  

I will announce the winner and show some of the other entries 
in either the next issue or the one after that, depending on how 
many entries I get.  For those who don't know what possiblities 
there are with plain text art, here's a couple cool ones as examples:

A truck:
  |^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^| ||____
  | B u d w e i s e r | ||'|"\,__
  |_..._...______===|=||_|__|...,]
  "(@)'(@)"""*|(@)(@)*****(@)*I

(thanks, Rick)

A dweeb:
     ,,,,
   Ô¿Ô¬

(thanks, Neil)

And, of course, the borders you see between these articles.

What will the winner win?

FREE copies of any TWO of my Office Ebook Tutorials!
That's a $30 value!

Not to mention the fame and notoriety of being the 
creator of ABC's Official Plain Text Logo!

So, send me them logos!!  Don't be shy.
