The only noticeable effect I have seen from changing the browser

smaller. Fixable with <ctrl>+ but that is sort of a pain.
I believe it's your looking tool, not anybody's composing tool
(providing they are sending text).

I agree. So how does one fix the "looking tool"? The alleged
"Customize Google" fix is described in such a way that one would
believe that it does the job. But it doesn't, at least for me.
Well, as far as composing an email with monospace (for alignment
issues), I think one can use notepad to compose the body and then use
cut and paste. I've done that for a short time when I had no other way.
On several websites, frequently when I try to give feedback, something
happens after clicking the submit button that gives me some kind of
error that effectively says that the submission was unsuccessful, but
what's worse, all that I typed was lost. Irretrievable! This happened
enough that I started composing my feedback in Notepad. *Then* when the
error occurred, I started the feedback again, switched back over to
Notepad and did a second cut and paste. (Occasionally, I had to do it a
third time. And a few times, I had to do it more than that.) Boy did I
breathe a sigh of relief each time I had to do the cut and paste a
second (or Nth) time.
But, the good thing is, it is probably a rare event that you need to
align text in the emails that you compose. Save the cut and paste trick
for those times.
I don't know anything about gmail, but if it's a web based email, then
perhaps you can use lynx? I believe that's monospace, right? (After
all, you would only need to use it when you need outgoing email to have
text that is aligned.)
