I suspect it is your newsreader. I see it fine. A lot of newsreaders
think that | is a 'reply' character, and outlook probabally tries to
be nice to you by left justifying it.

Here's a test:

| <-Flush with side
 | <-One space
  | <-Two spaces
   | <-Three spaces
    | <-Four spaces

Play with your reader until you see it the way I wrote it :)

The only stupid question is the unasked question.
And that's a good thing, because I hate stupid questions!
