[][ hi ...

for your web page place your ascii-art in the pre-formatted text HTML
 container thus :-

<PRE>

      _\|      __     |/_
    _-  \_   _/"->   _/  -_
    -_    `-'7   F`-'    _-
     `=.__.=-(   )-=.__.='
             |/-\|
    cjr      Y   Y
    2aug98=T-e-s-t.A-s-c=

</PRE>

and as a quick fix for outlook-excess... go to the menu-bar and select:
tools > options > read > fonts >
and set courier for both proportional and fixed.

courier isn't brilliant but it maybe all you can select at this time...

there is (i can send upon request) a registry patch to set outlook to
use the fixedsys font thru'out

for your sig in outlook... go to the menu-bar and select:
tools > stationery > news > font-settings >
and set to fixedsys (my preference:) and click 'ok'
then select:
signature >
and click the 'file' radio-button then click 'browse' and go to the
folder where you have the text file you have made containing your sig
and click on the filename and then click 'open' ...
then click on the little check-box labelled 'add this sig to all mesgs'
click 'ok'
click 'apply'
click 'ok'

next ... get hold of a copy of the FAQ

... mebbe we can persuade the FAQ-maintainers to post it weekly instead
of monthly ? ... dunno

anyway ... most if not all of these questions are answered therein ...
otherwise there are links to support-documents that do
