   the above is copy'n'pasted from the post i received   
   using thunderbird and eternal.september's servers   
      
   altho ...   
      
   just had a look on google.gropes using firefox and you're right!   
   the post there does have an alignment issue ... that section has   
   a single space *added* at the head of each line except those two   
   lines with *no* leading spaces   
      
   how odd ...
