@overholt “in old typewriter font”? the thing is, i highly doubt whomever wrote this ever used a typewriter.
such a weird sentence to describe a choice of plaintext font that wasn’t standard at all. the monospace is declared but what’s rendered is whichever font you have designated for monospace.
@blogdiva @overholt A lot of people used courier in newsreaders which was originally developed for typewriters in the 50s. https://www.historyofinformation.com/detail.php?id=2059 But I don’t recall seeing it when using mailing lists, my earliest memory of those was on an Apple computer with a bitmap font, probably Monaco.
