Hi,

our email message sent with sendmail includes text and a table that requires non-proportional fonts eg Courier New in order to be displayed correctly. Our message includes the header "content-type: text/plain". Is there a way to also specify the fonts to be used by the receiving end to display/print the message?

What happens now is that the table becomes misaligned as proportional fonts eg Arial are being used by the receiving end, such as Outlook or Outlook Express.
 
You could change the content-type to text/html and use HTML to format the mail. With text/plain, you have no way of choosing what font it should be. //Daniel
