I am using Thunderbird, win64, as news client for gmane. The post looked 
fine as originally received. The indents only disappeared when I hit 
reply and the >s were added. That does not happen, in general, for other 
messages. Unfortunately I cannot go back and read that message as 
received because the new version of Tbird is misbehaving and deleting 
read messages on close even though I asked to keep them 6 months. I will 
look immediately when I next see indents disappearing.
