   Can confirm that the leading space is not included in most of the email and/or   
   newsgroup clients I've tried recently.   
      
   This list consists of Thunderbird, Claws Mail, slrn, tin, alpine, and most   
   recently (and used in this message), neomutt. However, I believe that string   
   is configurable in most of the ones I just listed, but if you change the   
   default, then external editors like vi(m) or nano don't recognize them when   
   you try to reformat the quoted text.

   How's the weather up there? This past Monday and Tuesday we got to -30F   
   (-34.44444C).
