Hmm...there doesn't seem to be any setting for it, and I just noticed
something I didn't know before, which is that "view source" on your
gmail account view returns something pretty exotic on the first level
(it's *all* done as scripting).  Now, one possible way to get this
besides making the feature request and having them implement it is to
find a way to apply a user-defined stylesheet to the text (Safari can
do this).  I'm guessing they have either an id or a class for the
message display part of the page, so you could write a CSS rule for
this that insists that they use a monospace font. But without more
work than I can do right now, I couldn't tell you what the correct
selector for gmail message texts are...
