I don't see how the second example could be considered indented bullets, unless
something was thrown off by e-mail processing.
If the bullets are aligned with the margin of the body text, they are NOT
indented, in my view. As far as I know, indentation refers to the relationship
between the margin of a given line of text and the page margin. If the page margin
(pm) =1 and line margin (lm) =1, indentation (i)=0. i = lm-pm

I always thought indented bullets looked like this:

or possibly like this:

What are we all talking about here? I don't think we're on the same wavelength at
all........
