Mmm, yes, it's sort of an F-A-Q, but.... ascii-art is normally
done in a fixed spacing [typewwriter] font such as 'courrier',
for the excellent reason that otherwise everybody would
be trying to use _different_ proportional fonts and it
would never look the same twice.  So, set the font option
to a typewriter font on any editors or newsreaders involved,
and your troubles will be over.
