For many things this doesn't matter, but preformatted TXT files often rely on space at the start of the line for things to look right.

There really needs to be an option for TXT input to not strip leading spaces, so we can have them be included in later steps of conversion.
The best I can tell this is a limit of converting text to a reflowable ebook format. For an in depth discussion of the limits of converting text read this thread between nerys and Kovid (Calibre's creator).
