Unfortunately, moving in one space will not make ascii pics OEfW proof (please
note the single space to the left of Frogstein's body):
  .oo
 (  -)
  " "
may/will be renderred by OEfW like this:
  .oo
(  -)   Oops! OEfW moved my body to the left!
  " "

Well, you don't have to respond if you don't want to. 

But I hope OEfW (Outlook Express for Windows) users can confirm OEfW proofing
by moving in two (or more) spaces. So OEfW users:

 .oo
(  -)   This appears distorted, doesn't it?
 " "

   .oo
  (  -)   This appears correctly, doesn't it?
   " "

Definition of correct is:
.    .oo
.   (  -)
.    " "
