Columns mixed up in transmitting e-mails

2019-01-26 Thread Mort Linder

Hi,

I am running Windows 7, with SeaMonkey IMAP e-mail.

When I carefully type and send an e-mail, with some important data in 
columns, the received message has the columns all mixed up, so that the 
data are often illegible. This just happened again when I was trying to 
make dates with a pretty girl pianist to go to classical music concerts 
with me.


What can I do to have the e-mail received in exactly the same format as 
when I send it?


Thanks.

Mort Linder

Columns seem to be a problem with all emailers. 
A few of the things I do about this problem:
1.  Delete the Avast spam and stop sending it.  
2.  Use a fixed width font. 
3.  Put a period and / or two tab spaces at the end of each 
line if the line is not wrapped.
4.  Send to myself first to see what it will look like, then 
adjust as needed and resend to myself.

Make sure you're composing in HTML.  When you get to the place where you 
want the formatted text select Insert -> Table from the top menu. 
Adjust table parameters as desired.  Enter text.

One point:  YOU cannot control how the message is viewed by the recipient.
