HTML-Kit tabs are immediately convert to spaces
- so still only using tab key.
My preference is definately spaces (I have
absolutely no idea why....!)

thats true and not easy to reformat using the
tab-to-spaces method.

I do the same, as I find it immensely difficult
to code 'untidy' code.
But as I wasn't certain that uploading indented
code was the best method I thought I'd see what
other listers do.
I think I have heard somewhere that code should
be unindented on upload and to save having to
re-indent keep an indented copy locally - which
to me is just asking for a disaster...!
But as Joel pointed out, I think the files would
have to be gargantuan to warrant going to all
the trouble of unindenting just to save a few
kb...?
