It's not QUITE that bad... Somebody on the group (I don't remember who,
but thanx for the trick!) posted a trick by using Ctrl-P, then TAB and
the tab won't be inserted as spaces but an actual tab - this works well
for me.  Besides, it doesn't expand the tab until you actually edit the
spaces where the tab resides.  In general, though, it IS a nuisance :)
