Hey Alan!

Judging by your quote it looks like the top two lines are okay too but
everything up to the last 7 lines looks borked.  Here is the pure ascii
before ansification just to see if the same shows up in it.  According to
all my linux terminals (3 of them) there are no wrapping issues even when
viewing the packed msg from a raw pkt.  Anyhow here is the ascii version;

                    _______
                 .##{at}{at}&&&{at}{at}##.
              .##{at}&::%%%%%::&{at}##.
             #{at}&:%%000000000%%:&{at}#
           #{at}&:%00'         '00%:&{at}#
          #{at}&:%0'    Happy    '0%:&{at}#
         #{at}&:%0   St. Paddy's   O%:&{at}#
        #{at}&:%0       Day!        0%:&{at}#
        #{at}&:%0                   0%:&{at}#
        "" ' "                   " ' ""
      _oOoOoOo_                   .-.-.
     (oOoOoOoOo)                 (  :  )
      )`"""""`(                .-.`. .'.-.
     /         \              (_  '.Y.'  _)
    | #         |             (   .'|'.   )
    \           /              '-'  |  '-'
jgs  `=========`

With or without ansi escape sequences they look the same to me as far as lining up.

Life is good,
