Because we are old geezers who learned to type on typewriters, which were monospaced and where the standard practice was two spaces after the period at the end of a sentence. For proportional fonts, one uses one space. Of course, email does not have fonts (unless your mis-using HTML), so you don't know whether someone is viewing your message in a fixed- pitch font or in a proportional font. But I long ago switched my habit over to a single space, since all my typing (with the exceptions of Email and Usenet) was in proportional fonts. -- David W.
