   Matt Bedynek:   
      
   AS>> This line has a zero indent.   
   AS>>  This -- an indent of one symbol   
   AS>>   two symbols   
   AS>>    three symbols   
   AS>>     four symbols   
   MB> Are you using TAB (Chr 9) to indent?   
      
   No,  the ASCII space.  TAB  is a control character whose ef-   
   fect depends on the client and the settings thereof.

   In the cache of my newsreader, the indents  originally  made   
   using the ASCII space (0x20) are all incremented by the same   
   symbol.

   Displayed correctly on my side.
