<p>The message, as it reached me, had a MIME content type multipart/alternative. The two parts have headers</p>
<pre><code>Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
</code></pre>
<p>and</p>
<pre><code>Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
</code></pre>
<p>respectively. In both parts, I find several occurrences of <code>=C2=A0</code>, which is indeed quoted-printable-speak for a non-breaking space (U+00A0).</p>
<p>Interestingly, however, if I copy the code from my mail client, those non-breaking spaces turn into regular spaces. Other mail clients presumably yield the original non-breaking spaces instead.</p>
<p>So it appears that everybody in this little spat are both right and wrong at the same time. Please cool your tempers and take this as a lesson that email is complicated business and full of surprises.</p>
