Okay.  No problem.

Justifying turns all blank characters, including tabs, to spaces, so
there should only be trailing spaces on all but the last line of a
justified paragraph.  That should make things easier, I hope.

There's a line like that in the "Java source" regexes, which David
Benbennick contributed a few years ago, IIRC.  You could probably just
copy it into the regexes you use.  Alternatively, you could use
whitespace display mode to see where any trailing spaces are.

True, but it's an enhanced clone of a program originally meant to be an
email composer, so that muddles things up nicely...
