The operative words there being "my email client". Most webmail clients do
not allow you to select the font.

What am I missing?  Since this listserv uses plain text, and since my email
client allows me to select a different default font for plain text emails
(as opposed to RTF or HTML), I always see these emails in a fixed-spacing
font.  Clearly not everyone is in the same case, but how does it work for
you guys?

My feelings exactly Gil, I too wish MS would learn to leave things as they
are. If I want a proportional font, I will select one.

Proportional spacing shouldn't be an insuperable problem.
The recipient can save the message to a file then view that
with a monospaced-savvy viewer.

But, yes, I LOATHE proportional spacing when viewing code.
And I LOATHE mailers that convert '>' (as in Rexx traces)
to quotation marks.  And that enforce the conventions of

    Content-type text/plain;format=flowed

And I used to LOATHE MS Exchange for interpreting numeric
JCL option values as Quoted-Printable encoded characters.

Leave my text alone!
