Are you viewing the posts in a fixed font?
It seems you're using Outlook, so my guess is you're not. You should be able
to find somewhere in Outlooks settings where you can choose a fixed font (a
font where all characters have an equal width)

what you posted back looked fin here

you most likely need to change your font, here is item #5 from the ASCII Art faq:

[5]  What font do you use for ASCII art?
========================================================================
    ASCII art is created using a fixed-width font (like on a traditional
    typewriter), because this is the only way to make it portable.
    However, several Usenet readers now display messages in a
    proportional font (where different characters are different widths).

    The following two lines tell you which kind of font you're using.
    The arrow ends up in a different place for different font types and
    is right most of the time:

    You are using a [Proportional] [Monospaced] font
    ................................. --^--

    Also, to see what your program is doing, look at these two lines:
    iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii|
    WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW|
    If they look the same length, you're using a fixed-width font and
    all should be ok. If the second line is longer than the first, you
    need to change your settings to use a fixed-width font.

        In Netscape Messenger, this option is set in
           Edit > Preferences > Mail & Newsgroups.
        In Outlook Express, the option is set in
           View > Options > Fonts  (see Question 20)
        In Forte Agent, the option is set in
           Options > Display Preferences > Fonts
        and Free Agent, the option is set in
           Options > General Preferences > Fonts
        The AOL newsreader can not, at the time of writing,
        display Usenet messages in a fixed-width font at all.

    Detailed information on how to configure other Usenet readers is
    available at the:
      ASCII-Art Documentation Archive (see the beginning of this FAQ).
    If all else fails, copy the text of the picture from
    your program and paste it into a text editor (such as Notepad).
    It's a hassle, but at least you'll get to see the pictures.
