To minimize this problem we should do a couple of things: senders should use
NO tabs in their messages. only spaces, since different mail readers treat
tabs differently.

And both senders and receivers should usa a monospaced font like courier so
that all characters have the same width, and we can count on things lining up
OK. If you get a message that you think should line up and doesn't, try
changing the font used to display it to a constant width one. If it *still*
doesn't line up, maybe the sender used a cariable width font and we're all
Surely Out of Luck.
