Heh, new to the world of electronic communication? No offense meant,
but this is really "the way it's been done" for a long, long time.

I will only use fixed-width fonts for the reasons that others list. A
reason that others forget is the *big* reason, though, that
proportional fonts *typically* look like crap for any communication at
all: if you don't have the font that the sender used, you don't see
what the sender sent. You may have terrible formatting and just have
to deal with it, or you may need to use the scroll bars... It's just
not worth it. Fixed width, however, is fixed width, and different
fonts will still have the same relative spacing line-to-line.
I'm a Courier New user from way back, I just like the way it looks.
