I am reading via gmane. Viewing the source, there is no html.
BUT, indents are with tabs, not spaces. Some readers just delete tabs, 
as there is no standard for conversion to spaces, especially with 
proportional fonts. Thunderbird used to do this, but now uses tab stops 
every 8 spaces (maybe because a switched to a fixed font?) This means 
that the first tab gives an indent 8 chars in the original post, 6 in 
the first quotation, and, I presume, 4 in a second quotation, etc. It 
works better to post code with space indents.
