I did include a polite-er request in another post somewhere. Saw no response (that could be Outlook again, though!), so thought another go somewhere where he wouldn't miss it was in order.

Well, you might notice that's what is already set for my posts. It's the default setting for Outlook news reader. But HTML posts are indented with graphical vertical lines as the message separators. And when you convert an HTML post into plain text those vertical lines are lost, everything gets left-justified, and the thread hierarchy is lost.
