Random guess is that your MUA treats tabs like spaces when it sees format=3Dflowed. The lines between the different ra= nks weren't empty but had a single tab. And for whatever reason (I don't se= e any trailing spaces), Arjan's mail had a format=3Dflowed header. AFAIK, only SPACE CRLF is valid for line-continuation with format=3Dflowed, not TAB CRLF. So the above formatting would be the result of a pointless format=3Dflowed header meeting a MUA that was too eager searching for line continuations. Bj=F6rn
