1. Is there any way to assure that when one e-mails using a fixed width font
that the recipient will receive in the same manner?

2. Some e-mail programs are set to a different number of characters before a
line break. Is there any "safe" number to use going across so that each
line, as sent,  will most likely hold up when it is received and not create
an extra line? (which could wreck everything)

Thanks

Bryan
