Could be as simple as setting the #reply-form #body to font-family: courier;
Maybe a checkbox below the textarea with some JS that toggles a fixed-width font on or off?

Fixed-width font option when replying/asking?
I know it's potentially ugly for a long plain-text message, but as we're all quite often posting code snippets it'd be really handy to have a fixed width view of what you're doing. It's quite hard with proportional fonts to see what's lining up and it triggers my ocd when I see I'm a space out ;-)
I'm sure this has probably been asked before - I did a quick search, promise! ;-)

@ohffs In the meantime, if you have the stylebot browser extension, I just set this up: http://stylebot.me/styles/13086

@willvincent ta for that :-) It'd be nice to have it as part of the site though so different devices/browsers get the feature - we'll see if Jeffrey takes it up :-)
