Well, uh, yeah. But did they form themselves into a neat rectangle around
the word, or were they just floating aimlessly around your screen?

Yes, it looked perfect for me. All ASCII art posted directly to
coryphaeus (as opposed to being posted at tapcis.com) looks fine for
me. That's because I use a well-behaved email client that happily lets
me choose a fixed-pitch font and never sends HTML if I don't want it
to. What's more, it can safely display HTML mail without fetching any
images, scripts or objects embedded in it, and *does this by default*.

I had thought this would be standard for any modern email client
(excluding Outlook [Express]--that's a disaster), but I may have been
wrong.

Dodi, I'm using Outlook and I see @ on three sides, top, left and
bottom. The three that should be on the right are sort of in a triangle
in the middle and the word POUSSETTE is to the left of the triangle.

Dodi, I don't see a rectangle but they are at least in a symetrical
pattern something like this:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxx
the word
xxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I don't know if you'll see this message the way I've written it and
don't know if I'll see it that way either. Regards, Len

Dodi, worked for me--I'm reading the message the way I wrote it!
