Next, please repost any source code with indentation preserved.
Your message shows it all flushed to the left margin, probably
due to posting in html mode. Use text mode here.
That's odd, the message that I got includes proper indentation and is
plain text, not html.
Also what I saw. Dave, do you get the newsgroup or the mailing list? I
get the mailing list - it's possible the HTML version got stripped by
Mailman.
I am reading via gmane. Viewing the source, there is no html.
BUT, indents are with tabs, not spaces. Some readers just delete tabs,
as there is no standard for conversion to spaces, especially with
proportional fonts. Thunderbird used to do this, but now uses tab stops
every 8 spaces (maybe because a switched to a fixed font?) This means
that the first tab gives an indent 8 chars in the original post, 6 in
the first quotation, and, I presume, 4 in a second quotation, etc. It
works better to post code with space indents.
