Question about Room Descriptions

Got a quick esthetics question...


Why is it that a rooms description normally starts on the first character to the left, and every line below it starts with next (second) character to the left? I mean, I know its a simple matter of preference, but Id rather not have 3/4 of my room descriptions indented. Anyone know how I can get around this? Right now I have it so that on the first line it starts with the second character (so my descriptions are inline) but its just plain annoying.

-Thanks

I presume you mean like this:


west
A Stone Corridor
This is the stage of your training where you may begin to feel pangs of hunger
 and a parched throat.  In other words, you need food and drink.  To the east
 is the Darkhaven Supply Store.  You may purchase water and some meat.  Once
 you have eaten and drunk, you will be ready to proceed north.  
Exits: north east.

This is a function of both the MXP changes I made to the SMAUG server (which change room descriptions into paragraphs) and MUSHclient which indents each subsequent line of a 'paragraph' by one space. You can turn that off as a MUSHclient configuration option under the Appearance -> Output tab.

The option is 'indent paragraphs'.
