I'm not sure, but I think it has something to do with the first character on the line. Some characters just get pulled all the way to the left. For example, my sig with the penguin? sometimes the eyes and forehead get pulled all the way to the left, depending on which newsreader or mail client I use. Strange but true.... :) -- .~.

The answer to this problem is simple. If you are using Windows, and something like Outlook Express or a similar newsreader, put two spaces in at the start of each line. If you got some other newsreader, or are using some other OS.... well, ask Veronica.

Anyway, that's the first try. Enjoy. As far as I know: the first line of a 'stand alone' ascii drawing alwaysget screwed. Just put a line of text before your drawing or add a dot. . <-- dot hinnn hinnn hiiinnnggnn... / _, _, /)| /)\ \_'-"`/(_/```",, / < ``--._ |. _ ) ` * ', ^ ^/_, * (\*\ (#_/ `\) /' * - ))_| U \ \* _,//_ * ) >\_* ((|\_/ \ | \ | # ( \# \#\ \ # \\ \( )/ _)> _))/(_ b'ger .-\\,, , /\\//\//\\/),, ,,)/ ,\. .- -'-,)\/.')) About the bottom line.... eerrrr, I don't have a clue. Looks like it wrapped... or you just ran out of luck. Be sure to never use tabs to create spaces and remove all spaces at the end of each line. joris
