The problem is not people's email clients, the problem is that xterm, gnome-terminal, and konsole all mangle tabs to spaces when copying text. There is nothing the mailer can do about it. For now the only fix for people using an X environment is to pipe to a text file and then use their email client's 'insert file' feature. There is an open Debian bug report for xterm regarding this issue, I encourage everyone bothered by this to add comments.
I realize it has always been this way, but people coming from any other OS expect to be able to copy and paste a tab and have it stay a tab.
Many other devel lists encourage patches be sent as MIME attachents due to this issue. I would prefer that the console apps be fixed.
