The window you're writing the reply in will have a 
solid (filled in) layout box until you click Post,
at which point it becomes clear again, just like
Put for normal files.  Also, if you try to delete
the window without sending, you'll get an error.

I assume you mean having "Font" in the tag in the
mail windows.  That would be trivial to add to the source,
I'd imagine.

If you mean the font, acme's -f and -F work pretty well.
If you mean change from variable-width to fixed-width,
I would think that would be trivial as well, but don't
really understand why you would: mixed-width fonts grow
on you after a while.
