I'm guessing that it may be how you save the picture.  With ASCII art, 
spaces are important.  Too many extra spaces at the end of a line can
cause a picture to wrap.  In addition, spaces after a line can cause some
reader programs to add an "=20D" or something like it to each line.
If the top line of your copied picture is on the left all by itself, you
might
have forgotten to save all those blank spaces before the first character
of the first line...  possible?
