I found it a little more involved than what's stated above.
For us lamers who have to follow step by step.  I finally got
Outlook Ex. to where I can view this ng in a fixed-width.
Here's how I did it:


Tools
Options
Read
Fonts
Character sets - User Defined
Proportional Font:  Courier New
Fixed-Width Font: Courier New
Font Size:  Really makes no difference - but I have it set at small
Click on "Set as Default"
Click OK
Click OK
 
Now I can view the ng in fixed width.

Or, you could get a proper newsreader.

Aw, Ms. Karlsson - you just took the title from Martin.
I'm sure you'll live up to the title just as Martin did.
One thing though - in your case, i'd remove the "smart."

Hey now Zenger, although I do have a reputation for being a smart-ass (or a
sMARTass to be more precise... it`s my IRC nickname sometimes) however that
comment was a serious comment...... Outlook Express has this 'feature' which
removes all single-spaces from the starts of lines, therefore nurgling a lot
of ascii art. I highly recommend Free Agent, which is a very good
newsreader.


Have a nice day,
Martin aka "Mart" aka "sMARTass"...
