Looks like there was old code trying to indent posts, and it probably worked great… for two days in 2013. [This commit](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/3e7b418ea8d7bb57e5d939ab43c9338170e8f734) became obsolete two days later by [this commit](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/366cb1314063feceff80c0beb8d0ade441e5397f) when a custom html template was used instead of the markdown. Now we allow customized email templates to be used for HTML, which unearthed this archaeological treasure.
