This may be your (not so humble :-) opinion, and I happen to agree that a tab setting of 8 is best, usually. However, as Linus says in his coding style document "Coding style is very personal, and I won't _force_ my views on anybody". > ... Fix your editor, if that's an issue for you. My editor has a tab setting of 8, but readers of this list have diverse email clients, some of which do not display 8 spaces per tab.
