Maybe you are using a fixed width font such as Courier and they are using a
variable width font such as Arial or vice-versa.  If the following two lines
look the same length, you are using a fixed width font to view this...

Try this same test in your mail program and your friend's mail program.  If the
lines are different lengths, change your font so they are the same and your
ascii will be all right.
