Yes, I'd love this feature as well. Way back in the day before I switched to PM I used Eudora and I found it surprisingly useful. Often I receive emails that I can see, from the text spacing, were composed using a fixed width font -- generally because the sender was dividing text into columns, eg. for a price estimate. In those situation it would be nice to be able to see what they wanted me to see without having to do a lot of opening, changing and saving preferences (and then changing and saving them again when I'm done).
