I think this, combined with JavE and/or $EDITOR for $EDITOR in {emacs, vim}, is in fact easy to use. I've written many ASCII diagrams in vim and JavE before -- it's quite easy. The main advantage of writing ASCII diagrams first is that a) they work over email really well, b) they're great for IETF Internet-Drafts and RFCs.

I've not tested it out in any mail client. I doubt it's supported, but it does exist as a spec.
