John, I've earned a fat living for 30 years writing software, and still
do a little for recreation. There, and here on emails, I relish a
monochrome _fixed_width_ font - admittedly yellow on darkslategrey.
That's what I read most easily. I once tried turning on keyword
colourisation on C code. It was garish unreadable gibberish, with
all meaning lost in a rainbow character cacophony. Never again!
I've spent over a hundred hours creating, redesigning, modifying, and
refining the 8 drawings of my house planes - all in Postscript, using a
monochrome fixed width font. It's ideal.

Fair enough. An exchange of views is not a priori a cause for changing
one's viewpoint. I recognise your preference. Mine is equally
steadfastly unchanged from the perfection of the original email format.
