[19] The ASCII Art Rough-Guide to m$.Outlook?
========================================================================
Microsoft's Outlook Express program has a number of flaws,
including
* deleting spaces from the beginning of lines, and
* inserting the word `file://' in unexpected places
which make it very difficult to send ASCII art properly. Whether
these are bugs or features we don't know, but we do know that
Microsoft would rather ASCII art as a medium just disappeared (see
http://cgi.pathfinder.com/time/digital/daily/0,2822,13735,00.html
for more information). A registry patch to fix some of the flaws
in Outlook Express is available from the ADA.
