Why is there a problem? Stefan's (space-only) text took that effect into
account, so in his post things line up perfectly.
Of course in the _followups_ to Stefan's post, which quote the whole
mess, things aren't lined up correctly (because the extra quotation
prefix shifts his space-space only text, but not the preceeding
tab-using text) ... but that's presumably not what Barry was complaining
about.
To be honest I don't know what Barry was complaining about, unless it's
perhaps "This damn MUA uses non-fixed-width fonts!" That's a complaint
I also have with e.g. gmail, but surely the answer is "fix the MUA."
