What does Outlook need as a header/key/command in a received message, so that it would use non-proportional fonts eg Courier New when displaying and printing a message received with the format "text/plain"?
Background: We are generating email with sendmail from Unix. The messages include 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".
What happens now is that the formatting is lost and the table becomes misaligned as proportional fonts eg Arial are being used by the receiving end, such as Outlook or Outlook Express, when displaying or printing the message.
The message is displayed ok by Outlook, however at print time the font is changed and the format is lost. Outlook Express uses a non-proprtional font at the display stage.
