Question

I came across an interesting problem today. I have a text email I\'m sending from a Web page. I\'m displaying a preview and wanted to put the preview in a fixed font retai

Answer 1

Try replacing any double spaces with    - which should work to make your look of double spaces come through.

Crack all those new line and hard enters out with
.

Style the text output to make it look like a fixed-width with the font-family:

font-family:monospace;

You may need to size it up properly, something smaller than the surrounding text, but that will give you the look of a PRE, and what a plain text email will look like.

Put it all in a DIV with a fixed with and that could be worth a look.
