Just to note: For me your (Saad's) indentation showed perfectly fine
on GMail.  I'm note sure why Steven didn't see it (I think he reads
only plaintext email), so I'd guess perhaps your email included both
HTML and plain text parts and the plain text part perhaps had the
indentation stripped out and the HTML did not.  Anyway point being,
it's best to post plain text if you're emailing unless you absolutely
must use HTML, certainly this is the best way for this mailing list.
