I want to view all plain text email messages in a font like courier where each letter takes the same amount of space. (Computer generated reports are a mess to look at otherwise.) Anyone know how to change this setting in Office 2016?

Yea! Finally found it. Go to: File, Options, Mail, Signatures and Stationary, Composing and reading plain text messages, Font. Then select a font like Courier New. Now my computer generated reports look beautiful again! (Well, sort of. Kind of hard to get too poetic over plain text. :-)

It has been 7 years, but it's still relevant I guess. Otherwise, why would I have read this posting?
My version of Outlook is 2021. It took me ages to find Stationary and Fonts, because I failed to read the comments under the answer. To make it more obvious, this section is under:
File->Options->Mail->Compose messages
So, to change the look of incoming messages, you have to configure message composition. Makes sense. At least, it works.
