the above is copy'n'pasted from the post i received
using thunderbird and eternal.september's servers

altho ...

just had a look on google.gropes using firefox and you're right!
the post there does have an alignment issue ... that section has
a single space *added* at the head of each line except those two
lines with *no* leading spaces

how odd ...
