I haven&#39;t sent any HTMl that I know of--I fully embrace the &quot;plain text&quot; KISS methods.<div><br></div><div>I&#39;ve changed my fonts (all fonts--fixed and otherwise) to a font using the string &quot; Mono &quot; somewhere in its name, and things seem better reading and copying-and-pasting into an email buffer like this one--it should take care of all problems with reading and writing @aligned tables@.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks for pointing that out Bastien (about the fonts)--the &quot;FreeMono&quot; and &quot;Courier&quot; fonts in GOOGLE CHROME are ugly--I tried them all after your email--I settled on &quot;DejaVu Sans Mono Book&quot;; but, again, I have never posted HTML to this list that I remember--I used to work with IETF members on XML protocols and I&#39;m very familiar with GML, SGML, HTML, XML, etc--I know HTML when I see it.  The only &quot;markup&quot; that I inserted was &quot;[[file:&quot; --but thats not HTML--its OrgMode?</div>
<div><br></div><div>If I paste text and set its font to XYZ @and@ you allow your browser to view the XYZ font and character set @and@ you have the XYZ font software installed and/or your email software has it, then you&#39;ll see it the way the writer intended you to see it.  If you ever see anything from me with &quot;uncovered down&quot;/aligned table columns again, please tell me, sorry about that, it shouldn&#39;t happen again.  I strongly believe that problem has been solved. </div>
<div><br></div><div>(I&#39;ll look into &quot;turning off&quot; HTML sending in my GOOGLE CHROME browser options--like you suggested Bastien)</div><div><br></div><div>As for OrgMode and my idea, my plan: I will be setting &quot;^H&quot; as an end-of-line &quot;$&quot; marker in my own code--when I am in a buffer running OrgMode--and I&#39;ll see if I can make &quot;multivariate stat.&quot; tables like the example table Wang gave--EMACS has the only regexp engine that is easily tweaked that way--that I know of (see &quot;Regular Expressions&quot;, O&#39;Reilly, 1st edition)</div>
<div><br></div><div>Now, should OrgMode &quot;table mode&quot; support the creation of tables like the one Wang gave as an example? I think it should.</div><div><br></div><div>--But I&#39;m so giddy about OrgMode as it is right now, I almost don&#39;t care! </div>

The font you use might causes problems for fixed-font emails you *read*<br>
but problems for emails you send are caused by using HTML.  Go to gmail<br>
parameters and deactivate HTML when sending, it&#39;s generally better, at<br>
least for this list...<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
