I discovered that it was as you said... the font of the receiver. To avoid this problem, ask to whome you are mailing to change their default font to courier. That should solve the problem. I think that is the only font that makes ascii-art look right. That's the only way that I know of that can fix the problem. There is nothing the sender can do. Similarly, the person creating the ascii art should aslo be in courier because it will also not look right and then you play to make it look right and the reciever will never get the right image no matter what font they are in, except of course if their font matches the one you created it in. ;) RJ
