[18] What does ObAscii mean?
========================================================================
ObAscii = Obligatory Ascii
Obligatory: [adj] compulsory (of a ruling) having binding force
Ascii: [slang] ascii-art picture
A funny way to remind people to put a drawing in their post.
This means an ascii in every post! (especially off-topic threads)
Failure to comply can result in flaming! This implies that if you
don't include an ascii in your post you deserve to get flamed!
It is to be a new ascii-art which takes longer but allows time to
collect your thoughts and gives bystanders something to look at.
====================================================================
The concept of ObAscii has been around since the creation of the
usenet group news:alt.ascii-art and it's purpose is to provide some
on-topic content to an otherwise off-topic posting.

[19] The ASCII Art Rough-Guide to m$.Outlook?
========================================================================
Microsoft's Outlook Express program has a number of flaws, including
* deleting spaces from the beginning of lines, and
* inserting the word `file://' in unexpected places
which make it very difficult to send ASCII art properly. Whether
these are bugs or features we don't know, but we do know that
Microsoft would rather ASCII art as a medium just disappeared (see
http://cgi.pathfinder.com/time/digital/daily/0,2822,13735,00.html
for more information). A registry patch to fix some of the flaws
in Outlook Express is available from the ADA.
how to get rid of blue-lines in OE5:
1. Press the decode button twice when viewing a blue-struck image.
Because, after ROT13, OE will not parse links and so 2 x ROT13
returns everything back to normal, but without the blue lines.
2. Create a button in your toolbar so you can do it quickly.
In OE 5.5-6.0 the URL parsing code is slightly better and
doesn't foul as many images as previous versions.
