Ok, I shouldn't have said "guarantee".

You can guarantee that there are many mailers that only support a 
fixed width font, and (almost?) none that can't support a fixed 
width font, and since no two proportional fonts will "layout" the 
same...

... the *only* way to maintain layout in email is to use plain text, 
and manual lay-out using a non-proportional font in the originating 
and receiveing email packages which both need to be STANDARDS 
CONFORMANT (HTML or no HTML).

Hopefully bullet proof now!
