Charlie,

To put a different spin on this (as you don't appear to be having much luck with the ascii option).

Have you looked into PDF printing? these can be emailed and look much better than ascii output

The other possibility is Frx2Word (Printing reports to a word file) by John Koziol (s) which can also be emailed.
