Honey's not wrong about the Courier thing.  It can be a terribly 
fierce font and repeated exposure has even been known to cause piles.   
However, do not despair of non-proportionality altogether.  If your 
email package lets you change fonts, then I recommend you download 
Andale Mono (formerly known as monotype.com) from Microsoft 
(http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts).  This way even the most 
dreadful rubbish looks beautiful.  Why, only last week I was looking 
at some particularly noxious neo-nazi propaganda yet found myself 
filled with an enormous sense of inner peace.  All because of Andale 
Mono.

Enough of this Chris Leonard eulogising.  I was there and he was 
rubbish.

My cat's called Mittens.
