rightclick on the message -
check fixed pitch font
unckeck word wrap

the following lines should be all equally long:

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
................

dunno if in a newer version of agent the fonts can be adjusted
in 1.6 it uses courier new with these settings... not completely
satisfying but it's the only way of getting a fixed width font at all
afaik

No, he has the for-pay version (although 1.6 is a bit old; 1.8 is out
and they're expecting 2.0 to come soon).

Your version is Free Agent.

In Agent, look for the "Fonts" tab under Options | Display Preferences;
it looks pretty similar to what MJP posted for Free Agent.
