Basically assuming spaces/tabs are correctly preserved in an email body is taking unecessary risks. Also having a name for the patch and being able to download them from on-line email archives is a good thing, Now for the content of the patch, it seems to remove all tabs and replace them with 8 spaces. Is that really a better way, why use 8 characters when you can use one for the same purpose ? One could argue either way, maybe we should standardize on tabs, maybe we should replace them all, but I'm not sure the second one is really the right way. At the moment nearly all C files uses tabs, and i know I'm using them to align parameters lists in headers too, so starting a tab replacement would hit nearly all the code. Also make sure you editor use tab to align to the next 8 character boundary. To me that renders correctly in vim (I have tabstop=8). thanks, Daniel -- Red Hat Virtualization group http://redhat.com/virtualization/ Daniel Veillard | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/ veillard(a)redhat.com | libxml GNOME XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/
