It will ok if you only send ONE paragraph through PINE.  

If you have compose your letter offline, and consist of several 
paragraph, with columnar text and numbers, you will find all these jumble 
up into one paragraph.

The only way out for me is is load in joe and upload the ascii file as 
text, save it as file (or as the origibal posted suggest upload as file 
and read in.)

It is nothing to do with how my program is configured if I can upload OK 
into Joe, I should upload OK into PINE, so the question is then how is 
PINE/PICO configuration differ from JOE?

The ANSI-like codes displayed during and after an ASCII upload from
Procomm go away if I press control-L (redraw screen).  It isn't necessary
to press control-J (justify), so you don't need to worry about messing up
formatting.
