So, we can't use tabs because emacs didn't bring enough for everyone.  
Fine.  I accepted that years ago at which point I adopted 2-space 
indent.  If we *could* use tabs, you could look at them however you 
like, because they would be adjustable.  Sigh.

78:  see:  perl -le 'print " no"x(78/3)'
 no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no 
no no

At least, until we upgrade to widescreen SMTP.
