If you add the "computer output" lines to the message as a MIME attachment, 
Mozilla-- or Apple's Mail.app for the other poster-- will refrain from flowing 
the text the way it does for the lines you type.  Doing so may be more effort 
than it's worth and run into issues like mailing list filters, but otherwise, 
Mozilla and other mail clients don't seem to distinguish typed input from a 
block of text pasted in.
