Create list like this in a fixed width font like "Courier new" so they

Fixed font only is relevant if your newsreader is using the same font,
otherwise the display is still same - good idea though.

Right you are!

Thanks to Michael, it won't help in this case
but I appreciate the thought and help.

Merry Christmas!

It won't look right with different variable width fonts either. Try
to figure out a ASCII schematic drawn in a variable width font sometime
and you'll switch your setting to fixed font.

All fixed fonts use the same character spacing, its the variable
fonts that are variable. ;-)

Better yet, separate the items in line with d-a-s-h-e-s, or
u_n_d_e_r_l_i_n_e_s, any character will work actually.

The message may look funny, but is readable in any browsers font
setting... 8-)

No. Fixed fonts will ALL work. As long as the original post is in
a fixed-width font, ANY fixed-width font will be fine to display it.

otherwise the display is still same - good idea though.

Also sort of mandatory on Usenet.
