Chad,
You should play with _ASCIIROW and _ASCIICOLS variables, check also MS KB for the article about bug with ASCII clause in report.
Basically, I don't have much luck with ASCII clause in reports, especially if one of the band has multiple lines. I created a program, which can generate a program based on report to produce an ASCII file.
Anyway, I belive in your situation you should use either PDF and send it as attachment, or you can produce Word document (using Frx2Word or other tools available in Download section here).
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
