The other replies you have already received state why Sarge does what it
does with SATA.
As for your mail, it's being sent as HTML, which is why you see it
differently than other people (many of whom only read plain text e-mail).
When viewing your mail with IceDove/Thunderbird, one can choose to view
either one. If I look at the Original HTML, it looks fine, however,
looking at the "as plain text" view, it all runs together.
The same attitude that you're taking with the e-mail is the same
attitude that many webmasters take. If the clients are using the right
software, everything will look fine. That is not the right attitude to
take because you never know what software people are using, especially
on a mailing list.
