How can I can change the default font to a monospaced font (for
example, Courier New) so text in columns are lined-up?


It would be helpful if you said where and how you are reading posts. It
looks like you are using Google Groups ... I go there ocassionally, but
I've never tried to solve that problem. Two ideas: try the "original
message" view; or do a copy / paste into notepad

Another suggestion: do what I did, and get a newsreader (I'm still using
Outlook Express -- there are other options) and a subscription to a
news provider such as eternal september and use Usenet and NNTP to read
and post to Usenet -- now there's a novel idea!
