Here are some test lines (copied from Notepad):
numel(' ') % 4 spaces
numel(' ') % 3 spaces
numel(' ') % 2 spaces
numel(' ') % 1 space
Please ignore this if the right amount of space characters shows up.
OK, it's a problem of the matlab central newsreader...

I hope this can be fixed - like the issue with the empty lines, which are back now!
