Was this originally so distorted or is it just my news 
reader that deletes all spaces to the left?

Is it advisable to start each line with a non-space
character to prevent this? (I had the same problem when
I was reading news on a IBM 3090 - but I am under the
impression that the percentage of mainframe users among
those reading this has been going down during the last
years ....)

It's a combination of non-ascii no-break spaces (&#160;) being used
in rows of two or more spaces, possibly automatically by deja.com or
by the Netscape browser, and of Outlook Express failing to display
those.  (Unless ISO 8859-1 is specified in the header, methinks.)

Press Ctrl+F3 in OE.  It'll show you the readable source code.
