I'll offer this suggestion, knowing it may piss you off, given the
difficulty of preserving whitespace on *many* mailers without using
attachments, and given that attachments can be saved easily without
prying them out of the message, why don't you (one person) switch to a
capable mail agent, if only for patches, instead of trying to teach many
people to jump through hoops to avoid whitespace issues?

Not criticizing, just seems easier for everybody for you to avoid
teaching people things they don't find useful elsewhere, or getting
discouraged and not bothering.
