Re: Fwd: [pbmserv] Gmail now has fixed-width fonts

[John Williams <williams@tni.com>]

Out of curiousity, has anyone tried the "Message text garbled?" link in
gmail?  It appears on the bottom of the list of options when you click the
down-arrow next to the reply button.

For me, it opens up the message in a new window with a fixed-width font.
Seems like that would work great for gamerz emails, but I do not normally
do my game playing in gmail.
