Good questions!
The bullet point issue might be solved. When this friend of mine
highlighted a list of points, and then followed Format > Lists >
Insert Bulleted Lists, a bullet point list wasn't created. I'd always
found bullet points in Mail to be not friendly to work with, so that
didn't surprise me.
However, I've just tried it myself and it worked fine. A bit of
searching, and I see that Snow Leopard has tweaked something with Mail
bullet points, and this friend of mine hasn't yet upgraded to SL. I
have. I think that'll solve the problem.
I've no idea why he needs a ruler. Probably something he's used to. He
tells me Outlook has a ruler, and from a little searching it seems
that Outlook does. If correct, then I guess there must be some uses
for it?
Cheers, Steven

Evening. :)
Could you clarify what the bullet point issue is?
Ignore maybe my ignorance, but why do you require a ruler to create
an e-mail message? Since it is a dynamic layout system it will 90%
of the time look different on other computers anyway?

I'm trying to convince a friend of mine to stay with Apple's Mail
as a mail client, however there are two problems with Mail in his
eyes.
One is bullet points which don't seem to appear as bullet points at
the recipient end (I've experienced that as well).
The other is the absence of a ruler when composing messages, which,
as an ex Windows user, he got used to in Outlook.
Does anyone know of any plugins which enhance Mail in this regard?
Or is there an alternative mail application which brings both of
these features more in line with Outlook on Windows. There's
Entourage of course, and he does have Entourage installed and will
have a look at it, but I'd like to let him know of any other options.
