Novice Help...Please???

Hi all!

I LOVE ascii art and I'm really getting into it. Not from the creative
side, but just as an admirer. 

The trouble I'm having is this:  When I find some art I like, I
highlight, copy and then paste it into Notepad. It looks perfect, all
aligned just right! I then save it as a .txt file, making sure
wordwrap is turned off, and  using a fixedsys font.

When I go into Outlook Express 5.0 and set up my signature file, I use
the signature file I just saved.

When I go to compose a new email and insert the signature, it's all
misaligned. Some of it is recognizable, but it's not lined up
properly.

What else can I do to make this wonderful art appear as it should in
email signatures?

Any help would be kindly appreciated.

Thanks!

Dan T.
