Description

I am sending message as plain text (non-HTML) and have a signature that has two columns which I have aligned with spaces. For these signatures, for ASCII-art and for other purposes of aligning or editing multi line and multi column signatures, it is better to use fixed width font while editing signatures.

If in Display settings Fixed-with fonts is selected, use fixed-width font when editing signatures, or add a separate settings for enabling and disabling fixed-width font for editing signatures.

This was reported for version v5.006. See also https://code.google.com/p/k9mail/issues/detail?id=6541

Research direction

Start by inspecting the signature editor and the Display settings described in the issue, then trace how plain-text signatures are edited. Done means aligned signatures and ASCII art use a fixed-width font when the relevant setting is enabled, with the setting behavior clearly defined and verified in the editor.
