There are no tabs, only spaces. Yes, but unless you are copying from vim or emacs, where the editor is converting tabs to N spaces based on your settings, this is fixable. For example it should be possible to run diff from the command line and copy the output, preserving tabs correctly. There is an alpha quality patch floating around to add this functionality to xterm. But, this is horribly OT. My main point was that it's almost always not the mailer's fault if your patches are getting mangled in this way. Lee
