Won't work. Prothon requires tabs.

Thanks to Microsoft, attachments frequently don't pass through mail servers
these days. I know I filter all attachments out of a couple small mailing
lists I manage.
D> 3. Get a different email program.
That would be the tail wagging the dog. I suspect everybody writes far more
email which doesn't include programs. They should be able to use whatever
email program suits them best.
At any rate, I agree with John that the Prothon folks got this particular
bit dead wrong. If they wanted to avoid tab/space problems they should have
required that all indentation use only spaces, not only tabs.
