Oh my lord, this person should be using a Mac. I guess Claws must
really be good, because when all they can complain about is the
appearance of an arrow, you're pretty much perfect.

Every edit to source code risks bugs. Please don't risk a bug, no
matter how remote that risk be, to substitute something else for
ascii-art.
