If the person whom you are sending it to has a mailreader sophisticated
enough to show proportional fonts, it should also be able to support HTML.
So you can send your message in HTML with the ascii art portion set to a
font like Courier New.

(And any person who actually chooses to read mail in proportional fonts is
violating common sense anyway--Email is supposed to be monospaced, and
usually is assumed to be so; the boxes and other images you often find in
.signature files show this...)

Unless you're dealing with an AOL user, in which case life is hopeless and
you must show them where "Notepad" is. :\
