FWIW, Wouldn't it be better, if you instruct the email client to handle tabs properly, rather than make sure every poster mucks up with his coding style to something else ? Coding styles can be due to various reasons. There's even a war on tabs vs spaces. But strictly speaking it becomes a nightmare with spaces, when you are dealing with a SCM. This comes to play, when you want to look at what you have changed on a piece of code over time on a specific file or project. For small < 500 lines of code this doesn't matter, but for larger code sets this does really matter. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
