I have the fixed width font, but how do you deal with the 78 columns limit? I guess you can have GMail auto-break it for you as it does when sending as text, but I think that ends up looking horrible over manually selected break points. But I'm really lacking some vertical bar to hint me where the limit is.

I have my gmail signature set to an ascii art 'ruler', so I know where column 75/80 are while I'm writing, and then I delete it when I'm done (and I do manual line breaks and if necessary manual rewrap of paragraphs)... Clunky but it works.
