Tabs are equally well preserved in the message body as in attachments.
I applied the patch directly from the message source. Perhaps your
mail client does not make the message body available for saving into

I use mutt most of the time, no problem there. With Apple's Mail.app,
I can "Save As" a message into a text file... Which MUA makes the
simple difficult?
