Old wish, indeed. Maybe someone should either deny or act on it. This comment
and thus mail might help in that regard. :)

As to defaulting to fixed width for all: Strong oppose!

I use Pine alongside with KMail & have Terminus installed on all my systems
with a tty/X server, so I _am_ a huge fan of fixed fonts. That being said, as
OP points out, KMail should cater to the masses.
My mom will definitely complain if her email is not pretty any more. She even
me colored text, even though I told her I don't even read the HTML part, only
the plain-text one.
And that is the type of person who KDE needs to cater to. The power users can
simply switch over to fixed width if they want to. Normal users can't do the
reverse (or won't even bother to try as the application looks weird).
