You're right, it is the crisis of proportionally spaced fonts! > Oh, the misalignment! The pain! The exclamation points!!! ROTFL! I agree on the font thing -- can't mail programs come with a default for fixed-width, rather than proportional, fonts? (That was my biggest initial beef with Thunderbird -- it assumed I wanted to do my email in HTML with a proportional font. Never figured out how to get it to stick to Courier in HTML, but I prefer plain text for e-mail, and it's fine with letting me specify Courier for that. HTML belongs on web pages, not in e-mail.) I read the rest of the post. Understood most of it. Wish AARP would jump off a cliff or do something similarly constructive....
