Of course you do. And why? I wonder why he actually named Arial, which can
be better read _on the screen_ than every Helvetica I saw (which are
normally optimized for print and look much better than Arial there).

Why exactly can't I do this? I know (I mentioned this before) that it's
hard for people in this list to accept that other people have other
preferences when writing/reading mails, but I wonder with how much verve
people try to defend their opinion and convince other people that their
opinion is the only one which counts. If I don't use tables, I don't need
fixed font. If I don't need ascii "art", I don't need fixed font. If I
don't need justifying (or indenting) I don't need fixed font. For me, I
don't see a single reason why I should use fixed fonts, and I don't know
any other mail client who forces the user to use one (except for the
telnet clients of course; and I don't know if AK Mail has the ability to
change to font to the preferred one).
