Override "emulated tabs" when editing Makefiles?

I also have emulated tabs as my default. When editing make files, I use
CTRL-TAB to insert a hard TAB character. With backlighting applied it's easy
to see the hard tabs vs. spaces.

Hi,
I don't like using tabs in my source files so I've set the NEdit defaults to
use emulated tabs. However, when editing a Makefile I
*have* to use a tab character as the first character of a command line.

Is there a way to automatically override the "use emulated tabs" option when
in Makefile language-mode? I saw in the language-mode window that there is a
way to change the number of spaces per emulated tab, but not the actual
emulated tab setting. But I was hoping this could be set someplace else...?

Thanks,
