I suspect it has been, though Jonathan should still re-consider using
images in his signature since, well, it's kind of obnoxious. Even if
his users are not literate and communicate purely through symbols and
sign language, as he alludes, I'm not sure how having a signature
depicting an embarrassed cloud really helps in this regard. At least,
I think it's blushing. Maybe it's just shiny in the back, and those
are reflected light rays. I dunno, a picture may be worth a thousand
words, but if you google for "unfortunate logos" you will also quickly
find that the words are not necessarily the ones people intend. :)

There's always alternative mail readers, but you might want to be
patient for just a wee bit longer...
