Yeah, I remember that.

Some new information:

 * I have my mail set to use Plain Text by default (FYI)
 * If I respond to an email with lots of formatting, Evo now asks me if
   I want to lose the formatting or preserve it.  If I say "preserve"
   then the reply starts in HTML mode.  In this case I DO get proper
   proportional fonts.
 * If I save a draft email (or send an email to myself) in HTML mode
   where I should see a proportional font, the message in the preview
   (or sent to me) does use a fixed width font.
 * The body of the message in the preview shows: <body data-message=""
   bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#2e3436" link="#2a76c6" vlink="#215d9c"
   spellcheck="true" style="font-family: Monospace;" data-new-message=""
   data-evo-draft=""> so the "font-family: Monospoce" is clearly the
   problem.
 * However, if I take that draft message and say "Edit as new message",
   now the font is properly proportional again.  And if I save THAT as
   draft and open it I get proportional fonts and the body statement
   shows: <body data-message="" bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#2e3436"
   link="#2a76c6" vlink="#215d9c" spellcheck="true" data-new-message=""
   data-evo-draft="" data-edit-as-new=""> so there's no font-family set
   here.

it looks to me like somehow when switching from "Plain Text" to "HTML"
modes, the "font-family: Monospace" value in the body is preserved when
it should be tossed.  If the message starts out in HTML mode from the
start, then this doesn't happen.
