What I just sent out, that showed what I wanted to show, was not plain
text, but Google's fixed-width font. Of course, turning that on took
away plain text mode. I had a couple of years ago or so (Whenever it
was that I started working with Python and interacting with the Tutor
list.) installed the Stylish extension to Gmail and set up a plain
text, fixed width font. Somehow that font has been removed from my
Gmail settings with no known action on my part. I did not notice it
until today when I tried to reproduce the ASCII art under discussion
in this thread and found that I could not.

So apparently I can do plain text, but not fixed width, or I can do
fixed width, but not plain text! At least until I come up with a
solution. Heavy sighs!
