That's why I switched to an HTML email for that message, and put that block into Courier :-) > Of course you can view in fixed-width font when reading them with a > regular mail client, but through the gmail web interface? How do you > guys cope with that? It is rare that messages come through which *require* fixed-width. I don't see tabular stuff that often. The commit emails are in variable-width, but that tends to be okay. Most stuff doesn't need to line up. > There used to be a labs feature that put a "view in fixed-width font" > in the drop-down menu on mails, but it has recently disappeared ... Yah... prolly not enough people used it to justify keeping it around. Worst case, I'll cut/paste into my Aquamacs editor and look at the email contents there. But I can't even remember the last time that happened. Cheers, -g
