No tabs in post PLEASE!!! (was Re: partial list sort)

    >> Tabs are bad for Usenet posting...

Tim Peters used to thrash me soundly about the head and shoulders for this
on occasion.  I eventually came up with a simple solution for my mailer.  On
the outside chance there are other people out there who use VM inside
X/Emacs, here's the magic incantation necessary to have all your outgoing
email distabulated:

    (defun untab-buffer ()
      (untabify (point-min) (point-max)))

    (add-hook 'mail-send-hook 'untab-buffer)

(I know I could do it with a lambda, but I don't like lambda...)
