BTW: If you are sending me anything DO use attachments. Especially if you use any of the following, which seem to have some versions that mangle inline diffs
Lotus Notes Pine Kmail Mozilla Netscape MS Outlook
If you aren't sure if your mailer is ok then send yourself a block of text that contains a line over 80 chars long, a line ending in space, and a line with tabs in it
Check the tabs are still there, the space on the end of the line hasnt been eaten (eg pine) and that the long line was not wrapped.
