The nice thing about standards...

The [official markdown 
docs](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#list) say that 
indentation is 4 spaces or one tab. Of course they don't specifically 
stay that about _lists_, but in general reference to indentation for 
things.

E.g.

* Level 1
  * Still level 1
   * Still level 1
    * Still level 1
     * Now level 2
	* Also level 2 (tab)

```
* Level 1
  * Still level 1
   * Still level 1
    * Still level 1
     * Now level 2 (4 spaces)
	* Also level 2 (tab)
```

It's possible that the processor that MailMate is using is loser with 
that spec, since it's trying to capture intent in email from people who 
aren't really thinking about markdown. I'm using MultiMarkdown for my 
processing.
