What percentage of those who said "No" or "Huh?" read it in Comic Sans MS?

Depends on whether I read it through my elinks session via screen or have Thunderbird open. Answered "Yes" since it didn't say "Do you only read...?"

Yes, but ... not _all_ the time. If I'm in mutt, or looking at ascii art then yes, otherwise I usually use variable-width fonts as I find they usually require less width to the window I'm reading...

Formatting and reading e-mail using monospaced fonts eases the readability without need for a higher-level format, e.g., HTML or RTF.

I'm using Opera as mail client. Plain text emails are displayed in a monospaced font. Emails with an HTML part are displayed as HTML, i.e. not fixed-width. The question should read "Do you read plain text emails in a monospaced (aka fixed width) font?"

I voted for monospace, since I use Sylpheed as my primary mail reader and it is set to Monospace 10. But even when I set up other clients, I tend to migrate their displays to some form of monospace sans serif font. Mails just seem to look better to me this way.
