To avoid display problems in browsers, use only ASCII characters
in J and in the email messages you are editing.
In J Edit-Configure-Display-Box Chars, select Ascii
(you can come back to Linedraw lateron). That is equivalent to jbd or
setboxforemail.
Copy-paste in your email client. Make sure you are using
a proper encoding while editing; I am using iso-8859-1.
Avoid charset="koi8-r" used in your recent messages tonight;
that one is for Russia!
Does this look good? It should, there is only ascii.
If spacing is incorrect, it is likely because your browser
is using a proportional font, which you can configure.

After all, Ken designed J with ASCII only to avoid the input
and display problems of the APL character set, isn't it?
