For me, this is less visually noisey in email (where I am only given the option of displaying a proportionally spaced font) than the traditional boxed display. However, adjacent lines still do not align, so reading the display still takes some thought.
For example, given: ----- --- ------- 2 3 4 5 6 ----- For me, the 4 appears under the first gap in the line above and the 6 appears under the beginning of the third dashed sequence in the line above. Mostly, reading 2 dimensional fixed-width-font displays in gmail is a chore for me and one I usually neglect. (I do get the option of searching a menu for a "message text mangled" option which opens a new window where I can try to find the boxed display - if I am interested enough, this works fine, though using this option does require a distinct shift and re-organization of my stream of thought. So I need to be purposeful enough to go off and find the correct display and then to come back after I am done (albeit, probably finishing my reading of that message in the alternate window).)
