Since we moved to the new website design, the mailing list archives
display all messages with leading indentation suppressed. This can
be pretty awful, eg in the code fragment here:

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20180611170812.7ypf6xs6dlteo57j@alap3.anarazel.de

Looking closer, I think it may not just be leading indentation that
gets lost; seems like *any* whitespace string gets smashed to a
single space, cf followup at

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/7382.1528737252%40sss.pgh.pa.us

which certainly does not look like it did in my outbox.

I assume this is just an ill-considered stylesheet choice somewhere
... can we fix it please?

regards, tom lane
