I got that after pasting the script from Gerben's original message to  
TextEdit. Move to line 5 (the one containing fmtutil), delete the  
spaces before fmtutil, then enter a tab if you like.

I wonder whether the problem is not caused by the current non- 
handling of tabs in Mail in Tiger. In Tiger, Mail does not use the  
same underlying text engine as in Panther and before: it was changed  
to WebKit, Safari's HTML engine. As a result, there are all sorts of  
problem for the moment (did you notice the unwanted addition of blank  
lines when you answer a message, and then the unwanted and apparently  
random suppression of some blank lines when the answer is posted). If  
I understood correctly, in its present version, Mail does not handle  
tabs at all: indeed, if you enter a tab, and then move back with the  
arrow, you'll notice the tab is actually a succession of four spaces.

According to stuff I read on the web about the upcoming 10.4.3  
update, Mail should become able to handle tabs with this update.
