Does Evo use proportional fonts by default? I didn't think so - certainly all versions of Evo I've used displays text only (i.e. non-HTML) mail in a fixed font. I've just checked Outlook as well - it displays ASCII only email in fixed pitch. > This makes ASCII figures completely unreadable for most users, so using > them is much more annoying than a HTML mail. So send ASCII as non-HTML (in the way email was originally supposed to be) and everything will be fine.
