Boxed output looks wrong when displayed with a "proportional spaced font".
I have not used iPad's Mail program, but some programs do not offer a "monospaced font". If you are using a program with this little control, I think the only option is to copy the text into some other program. Many text editors can give you a fixed-width font. -- Raul On Fri, Mar 29, 2013 at 4:56 PM, km <[email protected]> wrote: > Any help for the iPad's Mail program will be appreciated.
