Thanks!  I spent a fair amount of time Googling and searching the web
page and never managed to find that.  It looks like the messed up
indentation is always a line that follows a wrapped line, so that
should do it.

No worries, that's exactly what I want/expect with <pre> and </pre>.
There are times when newlines are significant in source code and in
program input/output. Creating an attachment for a half-dozen lines of
text is a PITA for everybody involved, so just turning off wrapping
should do nicely.
