  1. Open up your artwork in a text editor.
  2. Add <blockquote><pre> to the beginning of the first line
  3. Substitute a <br> for every newline in the original artwork. To reiterate: get rid of all newlines. This step is easier if you gin up a macro to do the work for you.
  4. At the end of the artwork, close out your blockquote and pre.
  5. Bemoan the lack of an IMG tag, and post away!

Note also that you must replace entities with their HTML equivalent, such as < must be replaced with &lt; and & with &amp; and so on.
