You left out HTML mail in your list. <vbg>
Anyway, I agree that it's an impossible battle, *if* indeed there is a
battle, which there really isn't. :-)

Believe it or not, I'm with you on leaning towards their implementing
proportional fonts as well, because one can't and shouldn't force others
into using certain fonts. Even moreso, one shouldn't be forced to use a
particular editor for e-mail composition. As long as I can use a fixed
width font and can continue to encourage others to do the same, I'm
happy. :-)
