Owner of this sig: please convert tabs to spaces (as I just did :) for
next time so when someone quotes it the spacing is not thrown off (that
goes for anyone with a sig, actually).

Pipe the message through the UNIX cat(1) command.  I am an anti-fan of
tin, but in rn (at least in trn which is based on rn) you should be
able to type |cat while reading a message to see it "raw".

Note that the sig assumes you're on a VT100-derived terminal (most
terminals to UNIX systems are nowadays).
