Not sure if this will help or not. I'm using Netscape 7.0 mail so 
possibly the preferences you are looking for are similar? What I've 
listed here is from Netscape's mail but you should be able to go from 
here hopefully or others will be able to help.

1. Have you set it up to create plain text email only?
    Edit - Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings - Compose messages in HTML 
format unchecked in Account Settings window

2. Edit - Preferences - Mail & Newsgroups - Message Display
    Click on Fixed width font (which you can set under Preferences - 
Appearance - Font if you wish to change the size, etc.)

3. Edit - Preferences - Mail & Newsgroups - Composition
    Forward Messages - Inline
    Automatically quote the original message when replying (checked)

Hope this helps or at least gets you started.
