frame job

[Poly-poly man]

I know frames are "lame, not useful", etc., but in the job I'm doing,
they're perfect.

Anyway, I'm new to frames, and was wondering, how do I do a layout like

--------------------------------------------
| f1 |frame2 |
| | |
|-----|-------------------------------------|
| f | main page ('nother frame |
| r | |
| a | |
| m | |
| e | |
| | |
| 3 | |
| | |
| | |
--------------------------------------------

Anyway, I've gotten each frame to work individually, but working
together is a nightmare. Can someone PLEASE show me how to do this?

tia,

P.S>
Excuse the ascii-art

Did you do that with a proportional font, so that it takes the same font
that you're viewing when you compose to see it the way you intended it?
If so, use a fixed font next time so the drawing isn't font-dependent.
Remember, ASCII art doesn't come from the world of word processing.
Here's what I see of that attempt, with fixed pitch:

Hmmm, it displays here okay here using a fixed pitch font.

It looks to me as though Pan (your reader) may be trying to reflow the
message because its header contains:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

According to RFC2646, 4.2:

"If the line ends in one or more spaces, the line is flowed. Otherwise
it is fixed. Trailing spaces are part of the line's content, but the
CRLF of a soft line break is not."

So, one or more SPACE(S) followed by CRLF is a soft line break and
should be reflowed.

Anything else followed by CRLF is a hard line break and should not be
reflowed.

There doesn't appear to be any spaces after the lines in the 'ASCII
art.'

Oh. Okay.
