Hi,

  I just noticed an oddity... I'm not sure if it's just me or not.
  When an email contains the tab character in the body, using reply,
  or reply-to-all produces an odd character in the place of the tab
  [1]. Depending on the font, depends on the character I believe, but
  with courier-new, I get a small square in the reply quoted text.

  Another interesting thing I noticed while I was investigating this
  oddity, if you view the message source (using F9) of an email
  containing true tabs (not multiple spaces), the tab character isn't
  displayed at all [2]. I've put a couple of images up as shown below.
  The 3rd image [3] shows the same email in textpad with special
  character display switched on, showing a tab character.

  [3] http://thebat.netdork.net/tpad_odd.jpg

  An even more curious thing, although TB messes up the displaying of
  the tab character, when the email is re-received (that is a list I
  was replying to, and received from), the email is displayed just
  fine again. The cycle goes on, if I try replying to the reply
  message, that odd square [1] reappears. Now I thought there used to
  be an option that converted tabs to spaces in emails, but I cannot
  seem to find it anywhere, but if it's still there, it doesn't seem
  to be very affective any longer, as tabs are still being sent as
  tabs, and tabs aren't being displayed at all in the reply view.

  Just for clarity, I'm using the plain text viewer, and the
  microeditor.  Along with that, here is my template just to make sure
  it's not something I screwed up....
