__________________________
I thank everyone for the input.  I must have just been lucky that the
little ascii art I've done bypassed this problem somehow until now.  I
like Outlook Express as a mail program probably because I'm more
familiar with it than other windows based mailers....my favorite still
remains a DOS based mailer that I can no longer use with my ISP.  My
further question is: Do problems like this exist in other major
mailers that I should be aware of when sending ascii art even when the
program is set up to receive/send non-proportional fonts?

Below, I hope, is the sig with suggested changes (thx krogg).  One
thing I noticed is that Outlook Express will color change an e-mail
address so spaces must separate the addy from the rest of the line.  I
hope I have gotten Outlook Express reset as not to corrupt the sig in
transmission.
