Re: i dont get it?

"jumbled mess" ---> many readers annoyingly remove any "extra" spaces
and as such you see a jumbled mess.  these "intelligent" readers are
supposed to clear up the messages but, as you see, you get a reformatted
message.  As for Outlook Express: there is a way to view any message as
fixed format, but it only works for that one time viewing, if you change to
another message you have to do this step again...EXTREMELY ANNOYING I SAY.
Anyway, open the message then 'VIEW/Text size/Fixed' that should work.
Interestingly enough, and worth mentioning, if you have mutli-lingual
applications
installed in WindowsWhatever you'll also see option for changing the encoding
there in that menu.  For instance you can choose Western or ISO, or 7 or 8 bit.
If you don't have this stuff, upgrade to IE 5.5 of some other multi lingual
software package.

A handy trick, to avoid your friends becoming the target of a Spammer's email
scanner, is to fill in their email address into the 'Bcc' field of your email
client. Effectively limiting most Spam email scanners. Also, this prevents
casual noting of private addresses, and the infamous 'Reply to all' messages
that we all dislike.

Nothing in the world is more dangerous, than sincere ignorance and conscientious
stupidity. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-68), civil rights leader. Strength to
Love , pt. 4, ch. 3 (1963).

Yes, you're missing a whole lot.  I see from your headers that you're
using Microsoft Lookout Express as your newsreader.  The best solution
is to switch to Forte Agent or even Netscape Communicator.

In the meantime, select all the text in the message and change the font
to Courier New.  (I don't remember how to change the default font, or
even if it's possible.)

ASCII art, like all plain text files, is best viewed with a monospaced
font, as that is the only kind of font guaranteed to be available on any
computer terminal ever made.
