[syslog-ng] Syslog-NG, log4j, tabs, whitespace, indent

Hello, I believe that the log4j SyslogAppender is sending logs to syslog-ng that begin with a '\t' (or four spaces). The leading whitespace is trimmed either because it's not allowed per the syslog RFC, or for some other (hopefully) good reason. Can I turn this behavior off? an example would be a message: Dec 10 16:17:52 testbox at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) which should be Dec 10 16:17:52 testbox \tat java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) Thanks, John Skopis Systems Administrator
