Yes I'm sure he does appreciate it :)

One rather excellent thing about MacSOUP newsreader which I used to use
before I started using Hogwasher was that with MacSOUP you had an
"alternative font" option which meant that by a simple key combination
(I think it was command-U) you could change the font from something
nice like, say Geneva, to something not as nice but fixed-width like
Courier or Monaco.

This means of course that when you see an "ASCII" graphic in a posting
you would just change to the fixed-width font.
