The program I use is called "notepad"- :) You really don't need much more than a text editor with a fixed-width font...

If you have Windows NotePad works like a dream. Just let your fingers do the walking.

It looks fine to me. Maybe you need to change the font in your newsreader to a fixed width font, such as Lucida Console or Courier New. I'm afraid I don't know how to change fonts in Outlook Express though - perhaps someone else can help? -- Harry Mason ("hjm200.ecs@soton@ac@uk" =~ tr/@./.@/)

Hi,
> you should use a Newsreader and not OE, then it will be correct ;)
Well, it looks fine for me, and i'm using OE.
For magicien: Go to the options dialog, there to 'Read' (I think) and then
lick on Fonts. There you should select a monospaced font (like Courier New
or Lucida Console) for both proportional and monospaced fonts. Then
everything should appear correctly. (If the Names of the controls aren't
corect, please forgive, for I haven't downloaded the English language pack
yet).
