Tom Neff followed up,

| See if you can read this:

| .,.._...,_,..,,
| _,X..,,_,,X,_,.
| .,,X_,.,.X.,,..
| .,..X,..X..._..
| .,,,.X,X.+...,,
| ,,,_.,X,_,.;.,.
| .,,..X,X._._.,.
| _,,.X,..X,,,.,,
| _,,X.,,,.X,;.,,
| .,X,._,..,X._,,
| .,,,._.,.,...,.

In a fixed-pitch font it's plain as day.  In a proportional one, all bets are
off.  You could restrict your characters to those of almost the same width but
varying densities,

 <_?<_?<_+<_?<_?
 =_#########<_?_
 <_?><_?=_#<_?=_
 <_?_+<_?#<_+<_?
 <_+=_>_#<_?<_?_
 <_?<_?#<_?<_+=_
 <_?=_#_~<_+<_?_
 <_?_#<_+=<_?<_?
 <_+#<_?=_~<_?=_
 =_#########<_?_
 <_?<_=<_?<_+<_?

and maybe pull that off.  It still won't work for Roger's blind subscribers,
and neither does the .jpg-of-a-word method.
