It's because the font used in the text box used to compose messages is Courier, which is a fixed-width font (all characters are the same width, which makes columns easy to create). But the actual message board uses a variable-width font. In this font, the letter m is wider than the letter i.
m
i
In Courier, these letters are the same width as each other, and every other character.
Hope this answers the easier question in your post.
