In some cases, consecutive spaces that are present in a plain text email (as shown in the mail-archive html source) are not displayed because they are within a tt container (instead of a pre container) and therefore get condensed to a single space when rendered.
For an example, see: http://www.mail-archive.com/rsync@lists.samba.org/msg12548.html Toward the end of the script source in that email, you'll see this: echo "EEEEEEE RRRRRR RRRRRR OOOOOO RRRRRR" echo "E R R R R O O R R" echo "E R R R R O O R R" echo "E R R R R O O R R" echo "EEEEEE RRRRR RRRRR O O RRRRRR" echo "E R R R R O O R R" echo "E R R R R O O R R" echo "E R R R R O O R R" echo "EEEEEE R R R R OOOOOO R R" Whereas in the source html, you'll see this: echo "EEEEEEE RRRRRR RRRRRR OOOOOO RRRRRR"<br> echo "E R R R R O O R R"<br> echo "E R R R R O O R R"<br> echo "E R R R R O O R R"<br> echo "EEEEEE RRRRR RRRRR O O RRRRRR"<br> echo "E R R R R O O R R"<br> echo "E R R R R O O R R"<br> echo "E R R R R O O R R"<br> echo "EEEEEE R R R R OOOOOO R R"<br> Note that the leading spaces and some internal spaces are not rendered. What you should be seeing in the web page is this: echo "EEEEEEE RRRRRR RRRRRR OOOOOO RRRRRR" echo "E R R R R O O R R" echo "E R R R R O O R R" echo "E R R R R O O R R" echo "EEEEEE RRRRR RRRRR O O RRRRRR" echo "E R R R R O O R R" echo "E R R R R O O R R" echo "E R R R R O O R R" echo "EEEEEE R R R R OOOOOO R R" There are several other places in that email where copy'n'paste of Unix output containing leading or embedded strings of spaces are missing the extra spaces, yet in other places, a pre container is used that *does* preserve the spaces. Can this missing leading/consecutive spaces problem be fixed? Thanks. -- John Van Essen Univ of Minn.
