Two possibilities:

You could be using tab characters and the receiver doesn't have their
tabs set the same as you. (Moral: don't use tabs--use spaces.)

You could be using a proportional font, or your receiver is using
a proportional font. You should use "Courier" or some similar fixed
font for editing or viewing any file containing ASCII art.
