[19]  The ASCII Art Rough-Guide to m$.Outlook?
========================================================================
    Microsoft's Outlook Express program has a number of flaws, including
    * deleting spaces from the beginning of lines, and
    * inserting the word `file://' in unexpected places
    which make it very difficult to send ASCII art properly. Whether
    these are bugs or features we don't know, but we do know that
    Microsoft would rather ASCII art as a medium just disappeared (see
      http://cgi.pathfinder.com/time/digital/daily/0,2822,13735,00.html
    for more information). A registry patch to fix some of the flaws
    in Outlook Express is available from the ADA.

how to get rid of blue-lines in OE5:

   1. Press the decode button twice when viewing a blue-struck image.
      Because, after ROT13, OE will not parse links and so 2 x ROT13
      returns everything back to normal, but without the blue lines.
   2. Create a button in your toolbar so you can do it quickly.

      In OE 5.5-6.0 the URL parsing code is slightly better and
      doesn't foul as many images as previous versions.
