Sorry, one more test. In this one, I've removed the spaces on otherwise blank lines:

As you noted, that was it. The reason this matters is the following header line in the messages:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed

The format=flowed implies that lines ending with a space are supposed to be continuation lines, merging with those that follow, and with the email client otherwise free to break long lines as it wishes.

This is intended to allow email messages to be readable in clients that don't know about this standard, but to be reflowable according to window size in those that do.

Which means those email clients that showed the strange indents were actually behaving correctly.

IIRC Gmail notoriously doesn't support this standard, leading to the ironic situation where the messages look "fine" in its client.

The Game of Agora
  This section includes a few rules concerning the Nature of the Game
  of Agora.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rule 101/17 (Power=4)
The Game of Agora

     Agora is a game of Nomic, wherein Persons, acting in accordance
     with the Rules, communicate their game Actions and/or results of
     these actions via Fora in order to play the game. The game may be
     won, but the game never ends.

     Please treat Agora Right Good Forever.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rule 1698/5 (Power=4)
Agora Is A Nomic

     Agora is ossified if it is IMPOSSIBLE for any reasonable
     combination of actions by players to cause arbitrary rule changes
     to be made and/or arbitrary proposals to be adopted within a
     four-week period.

     If, but for this rule, the net effect of a proposal would cause
     Agora to become ossified, or would cause Agora to cease to exist,
     it cannot take effect, rules to the contrary notwithstanding. If
     any other single change or inseperable group of changes to the
     gamestate would cause Agora to become ossified, or would cause
     Agora to cease to exist, it is cancelled and does not occur, rules
     to the contrary notwithstanding.
