Thanks. I didn't find that one because it's not offered as an >> identation option in emacs haskell mode.
It's not just a missing option, it's a bug. I'll hopefully get around to fixing it soon. > Emacs is evil!

Actually, it has nothing to do with saving space: it only uses TABs because many people *want* to use tabs. Of course, the rest of the users *doesn't want* to use tabs, so we get to be flogged both ways. BTW, when was the last time you tried haskell-mode? Haskell-mode (at least since version 2.0) makes it difficult for the user to insert TABs by mistake. > Tends to completely trash indentation e.g. when pasting code > into mails etc. Huh? You mean your mail reader doesn't display tabs in the same way as 8 spaces? TABs are evil for many reasons, but I've never seen this one.
