Mono-spaced font for text based mails

[Cecil Westerhof]

When I receive a text based email, I would like it to be displayed with a mono-spaced font. But I cannot find a way to do that. Am I overlooking something, or is that not possible?

I think it's not possible anymore.

If I remember right, Gmail had that option, but it went away a long time ago.

It MIGHT be possible to see a plain text version if you select "Show Original" (it's in the menu after you click on the 3 vertical dots in the upper right corner of the message).  Scroll down past all the email headers, and hunt around in there.  There might be a section with plain text, and in my view at least, Show Original uses a monospaced font.  But many email messages these days don't have a section with plain text.  Most of it is HTML or otherwise encoded.  And even if there is a section with plain text, it might not be the whole message.

I guess the other option is to copy-and-paste into your favorite word processor or text editing program (Wordpad, Notepad, Notepad++, etc.).
