Plain Text Email Example
------------------------------------------------------------

This is an example of how plain text with a monospaced
font can be formatted to look professional.

Notice the double rule above the title. It is formed by
using equal signs. Various common characters can be put
to clever use as rules and other visual dividers. Just
remember to follow these simple rules:

1. Stick to a "monospaced" font such as Courier.
   In a monospaced font, each character, numeral,
   and symbol takes up the same width, just like a
   typewriter. This makes it possible to align text
   using spaces -- something you can't do with
   standard variable width typefaces.

2. Notice how this numbered list indents the text? I'm
   doing it with hard returns at the end of each line
   and spaces at the beginning for the indent. It is
   a little more work but results in very readable
   blocks of text.

3. Keep all lines UNDER 60-70 characters. Otherwise a
   smaller than expected window will force lines to
   break before your returns and really screw up the
   layout.

4. Provide adequate whitespace around paragraphs and
   blocks of text. This makes the text easier to read.


Notice how clean the layout appears. Consistency and
simplicity make a good readable design.
