If you're using only text, the sender's choice of font does not get transmitted and is therefore irrelevant to the recipient's choice of font.
The RFCs define and allow MIME, hence define and allow HTML.
Some ISPs and mailing list management software packages are notorious for mangling the content and formatting of messages sent through them.
We're bouncing low-power radio signals off tiny cubes in space just to say hello to each other -- let's be more open to the fact that standards evolve and change as technology changes.

If the sender would use a mono spaced font (courier) the formatting would remain. There is something to be said for following the RFCs. HTML and other fancy techniques have no place in messages. That is what text is for. 73 Glenn

I'll be roving to FN09/FO00 this weekend! Driving up on Friday, operating on Saturday and then driving home on Sunday. There are plenty of good passes, covering all parts of North America, into Europe and the northern half of South America. Please have a look at the schedule below and get back to me if I haven't covered your QTH. We'll try and work something out! As always, the schedule depends on the weather and local road conditions, but the forecasts do look promising. Follow me on Twitter @ve3hls for updates!
