Just returned from a trip.

Thanks to all of you for your helpful suggestions, which I do appreciate.

Hi,

When I send an e-mail with neatly typed vertical columns, they become 
randomized in transmission and often become illegible.


How can I send out an e-mail where the columns look the same as the 
original?

The compose window uses monospace font, and the message window uses 
proportional font.  That is why the columns do not line up.  Maybe compose the 
message with an editor that uses proportional font and then copy it to the 
compose window?

If you are formatting your E-mail as HTML, that causes your problem.
There are actually two problems with HTML-formatted E-mails.

One is the fact that not all E-mail applications handle HTML in the same
manner.  Even if your recipient also is viewing the message as HTML, his
or her application might not handle tables the same way, especially if
you are using a font that the recipient does not have.

The other problem -- more likely -- is that the recipient is viewing
E-mail as plain text, which fails to use the formatting you created with
HTML.

I use tabs or periods as column breaks.

Do you mean how does the recipient view the mail in the same way you 
sent it?


How are you making the neatly typed vertical columns?

Using Insert > Table... in HTML composition should help.
