Details

Many are pushing for the new emailtech and it's way to show bug diffs but they're really not usable unless you display your mails with a fixed width font. That limitation really makes the feture hard to use for all of us which for years have read mails with a proportional width font which really is much better when reading flowing text. The problem is that different rows in the table columns don't align correctly under eachother so that the columns look like: ____________________________________ | | | | |iiii|iiii|iiii| |wwwwwwwww|wwwwwwwwww|wwwwwwww| |wwwwwwwww|iiii|iiii| ... Since switching to fixed width font isn't an option for many of us (myself included) I wouldn't recommend using the new emailtech as it is today without keeping another as good solution. For instance, why not enable the use of a html table in the mail (controlled by a pref) either sent as a text/html mail only, or as both text/html and text/plain?
HTML Mail option sounds good. This sort of stuff is likely to fall out of the BZ3 modularisation work.
