  The game-changer is using "Content-Type: text/plain" instead
  of "Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed", because some
  translation services are gonna interpret line breaks as
  paragraph endings! But extra spaces like this   should 
  just get ignored by most translation services.

  We usually set off quotes, like code snippets, by indenting them.
  Well, that won't fly in Python because indentation actually affects
  the code's meaning. That's why in Python newsgroups, we got to do the
  opposite - indent the surrounding text to make the quotes stand out!
