"Show original" and "Message text garbled?" in the message menu in GMail
both show it in fixed-width font.

When replying, it is possible to switch to "Rich formatting" and change
the font there.

That is what comes to mind. I didn't know about those labs features.

That's why I switched to an HTML email for that message, and put that
block into Courier :-)

It is rare that messages come through which *require* fixed-width. I
don't see tabular stuff that often. The commit emails are in
variable-width, but that tends to be okay. Most stuff doesn't need to
line up.

Yah... prolly not enough people used it to justify keeping it around.

Worst case, I'll cut/paste into my Aquamacs editor and look at the
email contents there. But I can't even remember the last time that
happened.

One annoyance with gmail: how do you view emails in fixed-width font?
I haven't been able to find a good solution for this (making it hard
to read mails with ascii tables like gstein's recent count-progress.py
mail.

Of course you can view in fixed-width font when reading them with a
regular mail client, but through the gmail web interface? How do you
guys cope with that?

There used to be a labs feature that put a "view in fixed-width font"
in the drop-down menu on mails, but it has recently disappeared ...

While we're bagging on email, I've noticed another trend lately is that 
people reply-all to a commit message and the entire commit is duplicated 
and there's a one-line comment at the bottom.  In Thunderbird I need to 
scroll down a long ways.  It's wasteful of space and time, so it would 
be nice if people took more effort in trimming their replies.

 I'd like to note, more verbosely, that I got carried away with that
post -- I was trying to demonstrate how all beauty disappears with a
var width font. I do not want to be associated with sexism nor trying
to irritate anyone. When I posted I simply wasn't aware enough that a
picture like this could offend, in either direction (to me,
personally, it is quite low on the irritation scale). I value the
attitude neutrality on this list and apologize for disturbance
thereof.

+1 for this presentation (BTW, it is a talk opposing gender
discrimination, for anyone who might be reluctant to click).
The drastically uneven male:female ratio in the Subversion project has
actually worried me recently. My understanding of the nature of FLOSS
would suggest a more or less even distribution, so I ask myself, why
the heck are *all* of us svn devs male? I hereby officially welcome

Use IMAP and your favorite client. It is just that I have not seen
such a nice client. I'm also "always" online, so I don't worry about
the fact that the app is a website. I can always connect.

There *is* an offline mode for Gmail, if you really want offline.

> 2) with the ability to *SHOW FIXED WIDTH FONT* for crying out loud

I've been using Gmail as my primary for 4-5 years now, and I *rarely*
need to see something in fixed-width. RARELY. I just don't see this as
a problem. For the time here and there where it is needed, I just
cut/paste into Emacs.

> 3) with a "Reply all" button at the top right instead of just "Reply"

It would be nice to have a Reply-All immediately there, but it is just
one click away. I hit the drop-down, then hit Reply-All very
frequently. Two clicks is not bad.

heh, I got a triple "Hoorrah" in my inbox (one each via dev@, neels@ and
commits@, I guess)

Sometimes I wish the mail duplication would end ... but most of the time I
accept them as given. I have a 'remove duplicates' thing, but it requires
clicking twice to kick it off per folder. :/

I haven't seen the perfect mail client yet. Suggestions welcome.
