Did you use tabs? They do not get preserved indefinitely, so they are
bad for posting.

I didn't consciously use tabs, actually I would rather avoid them. That
said, my posting looks correctly indented in my "sent" folder and also
in the copy received from my newsserver. What could also have an
influence is line endings. I'm using Thunderbird on win32 here, acting
as news client to comp.lang.python.

I am using Thunderbird, win64, as news client for gmane. The post looked fine as originally received. The indents only disappeared when I hit reply and the >s were added. That does not happen, in general, for other messages. Unfortunately I cannot go back and read that message as received because the new version of Tbird is misbehaving and deleting read messages on close even though I asked to keep them 6 months. I will look immediately when I next see indents disappearing.
