Any normal text mail will be readable, even with non-fixed fonts;
perhaps what you want is (when I see, for example, your signature) give
your text some structure in the layout, like tables etc. which is not
what text is for. You should use any formatting language, like HTML or
Latex or groff.

The issue is not about readable, it's about wasting bandwidth with such
blanks in the lines to make some picture out of text, which at the end
of the day will not work in other MUA, as you know.
