Read my replies to them, I decoded it and fixed it in my replies.

It took my a couple of hours to make the students posts into
standered ASCII, since some people used extended charactors,
proportional-spaced fonts, and some problems caused by 
god-knows-what.  In other words, even if you had a mime capable
newsreader (I do), you STILL wouldn't have been able to make sense
out of the pictures!  I think they still have a little way to go
before they will be called ascii-artists.  Some of the pictures
were really good, it just took me alot of work removeing zillions
of extra spaces (due to prop. font on some), shorting them to
72 chars, (One had a 200-char line, mostly extraneous spaces),
and trying to get them to line up, so I could see them.
