Absolutely.  I compose on line in the browser, not email, and the
reply screen is in Courier New.  Then in preview it's shown in Verdana
or something like that, and in view mode after posting the messages
are rendered in some other proportional font using html.  Not only
does the font screw up any spacing you may have used, the html removes
all but one space (hence the dots). But even with the dots the
proportional font still messes it up.  It's a double whammy.  It's
almost impossible to show any kind of chart or formatted information.
 Incredibly dumb system.  Sigh.  

Regards,
Clayton
