Guys, Gals,

Do you think it would be possible for all of you,
to whenever you send ascii art, format it with monospaced font?

Problem with majority of ascii arts sent to group is that they
are created with an assumption, that all email clients will render
such lines of text in the same way. This is unfortunately false.

Unless you will choose font in which all characters occupies exactly
the same space, like for instance courier.

This will improve legibility of such diagrams for everybody

And, I am not suggesting by any means, to post HTML to the group!
But when you create your ascii art, or tables, or anything which
depends on size of the space character, please format it in monospaced
font.

What do you think? Agree, disagree?

Thanks,

Przemek
