So the HTML composer is compressing the whitespace. It doesn't need to
for internal storage of course, but it needs to for user feedback -
the user gets a WYSIWYG experience. Makes sense.
But that *shouldn't* matter since we shouldn't be using an HTML composer
for constructing text/plain documents: the formatting rules are different.
However, other posts here have already detailed the fact that it's
a lucky thing that there's *any* text/plain support, given Netscape's
funding priorities.
I get it now, thanks. Sounds like a hard problem - getting an HTML
composer to 'think' like text/plain.
