and you've still missed one. I see you are using a table anyway...

Why don't you let cellpadding be your friend? And as the others have
said, use the <pre> tag for your ASCII-art.

<pre>
 /\   ("  /"  "|"  "|"     /\   |")  "|"
/""\  _)  \_  _|_  _|_    /""\  |"\   | 
</pre>
                                         \ 
                                          \,^^%---
                                          <\/  \ Please note that
                                          >      there is a space
                                          >^^    after the | on
                                         /|      the bottom of the
   ejm                                   | \     "T" so that the
                                                 banner will be
                                                 centered.


And don't forget to fill in those dimensions for your images! And do you
really want your alt tags to have no hint about what the image is?

Here is another attempt at making this post be on-topic:

empty picture frame on the table; wastebasket overfull of extraneous
&nbsp;s

are e-mailing and hit the reply button, add an "e" to "freent";
its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.
