Hi, new to Ascii Art and was wondering what to do, to keep your art work
from getting scrambled when you send it. When I sent one last evening to
myself to see how it looked, it was all over the page.  Thanks for any
help.  Jackie

Make sure your newsreader and mail client are set to view and send postings
and emails in a monospaced font like Courier.  Likewise, make sure that you
aren't sending messages in HTML (a big no no).  Everyone loves and
appreciates it when you don't send HTML postings or emails.

I see you use WebTV.  Unfortunately I don't know enough about the service to
tell you how to configure whatever newsreaders/mailreaders you are using.


Good luck,

Froggy

Check for extra spaces. Just highlight your ASCII so you can see where
the spaces are and then remove them. If you have spaces it can make
your ASCII wrap in an email.
