I just toggle it "manually" (my hook turns it on by default).

Variable-pitch seems to work well (and is generally more readable) for
about 99% of articles; I rarely turn it off even in technical groups
where people post patches and code etc.

[Even ascii art tables are a bit of a wash these days since half the
time the author apparent sent it using a MUA using a variable-width
font, and aligned things accordingly!!]
