I admit right off that I have little experience with mailers.  One point
I feel a layman can legitimately make, however, is that:

	If I have software on my end that knows what a tab means within
	a given context, and if I want to mail this file to someone else
	whose software is also aware of the context and of the meaning
	of tabs within that context, I think I should be able to do this
	without the mailer screwing up the situation.

Perhaps this is obvious and is no problem, in which case, please do not
followup to this article of concern.
