Note that Outlook and Outlook Express do even *worse* things. IIRC, Outlook replaces all tab characters with a *single* space. However, I think you will find the code you are looking for is: http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/mailnews/mime/src/mimetpfl.cpp#55 and http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/mailnews/mime/src/mimetpfl.cpp#588 That is the definition of 4 spaces to one tab stop for "flowed text" emails. I can find no similar handling on the "plain text" converter. Mark.
