Okay, I have this here problem... I save some good ascii-art from this
group, then it looks great in my dir when I look at it... Then when I
download it, it gets at funny, and the <CR>s are not where they'r soposed to
be, like it's diagolal or something... What's wrong?
If it's the was I download, tell me... Right now I d/l by typeing:
sz -w 4096 <filename>

I was having the same problem. How do you stop it from getting wrapped? The only way I could was by posting in html using courier new as my font.

How you do that (or IF you CAN do that) depends on your news reader. There are lots of different news readers out there, which is why I suggested having a go at a little trial-and-error in alt.test. In your headers I can see this: X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2014.211 which suggests to me that you're using OE5. There have been lots of people here complaining about problems with that one and the best advice for how to solve some of those problems seem to be "Get some other (better) news reader". I have no idea how/if to solve your problem in OE5. > The only way I could was by posting in html using courier new as my font. > Bad idea!

Read the FAQ: http://voices.vossnet.co.uk/a/atkins/ada/aaafaq.txt to find out about wrapping, and try making some test posts to alt.test to see if you can get it to post properly.
