Subject: Copy converts tabs to spaces ?

Hi!
I noticed that when copying text from a the Cygwin Bash window and then pasting it somewhere (like
WordPad), tabulator characters are converted to spaces.
The same happens with RXVT too.
Details:
- print the content of some text file that has tabs (like a C program source) : cat foo.c
- select and copy the text with the mouse
- paste (ctrl-V) into WordPad
The text in Wordpad has no more tabs.
Is there a way around this ?
Regards,
David
