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 / / / / (o o) _o00_()_00o_
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.
