What is funny is that mozilla doesn't screw up whitespaces. 2 people checked that patch from the email applies to the kernel. I even checked the email myself and the only difference between "good" patches and mine is that mine has "format=flowed" in Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed It looks like some mailers replace TABs with spaces when format=flowed is specified. So are you sure that the problem is in mozilla? Thanks, Kirill
