I see that you are on AOL-
At present, AOL only has one font-- Arial.
Arial is a proportional font.  For instance the W is wider than
the I.   All ASCII art is made in a non-proportional font--
or fixed-width font.  Some examples of these are:
courier, FixedSys, or Monaco...   In these fonts, letters
are the same width.

The reason your ASCII art is being "torn apart" has
to do w/the font you are using.  But don't worry-- about
95% of the rest of internet has options for different fonts--
they will be able to see the ASCII art you send- so long
as they use a fixed width font.. And Good news!  AOL
is supposed to be adding font options to their 4.0 update.
