Re: Forcing a fixed font for Oracle SQL output sent by UNIX mailx

Hi,

Experienced the same problems despite formatting with pr -et8 to substitute tabs etc... Couple of days ago accidently installed outlook 98 and to my suprise i got the mail formatted beatifully. Don't ask me why, MS keeps on giving suprises
everytime.
