(Smart tabs are not hard tabs)

Smart Tabs are for lists of things.

There is an example

type a line of text, and then go to the next line with out auto format on
     1 2    3  4     5   6    7  8  9   etc

Where you see the numbers is where the smart tabs took my cursor

TB! replaces the tab with the correct number of spaces.

Yes there is a difference. No I don't have the knowledge to explain it
properly. So I will let some one else explain that. What I do know is that
TB! uses spaces other email clients use the tab character
