What appears to be happening is that KMail is using KHTML to render
message content (regardless of content-type). To get indenting to work
within KHTML, plain text needs to have some spaces translated to
non-break spaces. A web search shows bug reports for KHTML in 2003 about
this problem - specifically that non-breaking space is translated to
space for the primary selection but not the clipboard, but it was
apparently fixed back then. What version of KMail and KHTML/KDE
(whichever you can get version numbers for) are you using?
