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....
