Copy converts tabs to spaces ?

[xerces8]

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
