One annoyance with gmail: how do you view emails in fixed-width font? I haven't been able to find a good solution for this (making it hard to read mails with ascii tables like gstein's recent count-progress.py mail. Of course you can view in fixed-width font when reading them with a regular mail client, but through the gmail web interface? How do you guys cope with that? There used to be a labs feature that put a "view in fixed-width font" in the drop-down menu on mails, but it has recently disappeared ... Johan
