textedit

I made a multi-level bulleted list in TextEdit that looks something like:

foo
- bar
- stuff
  - things

However, when I try to convert it to text (via cmd-shift-T, copy and paste, or textutil), the result looks more like:

foo
bar
stuff
things

How can I convert to text but preserve the indention?
