[luv-main] non breaking spaces in emails

PS: your stupid MUA appears to be replacing every SECOND space in multi-space sequences to a non-breaking space, which is fucking stupid. You're (implicitly) using format=fixed (ref. RFC2646), so the shitty workarounds to get preformatted text in format=flowed are neither necessary nor desirable. Rant, rage, grumble, bitch, moan.
Why is this a problem? This line has extra spaces in it to see if I can reproduce this issue myself, or if it just happens inside quotes. (also sent from gmail) -- Brian May <brian@microcomaustralia.com.au>

Oops. That was sent with ISO-8859-1, not utf8. Although =A0 appears in several places it is is non-breaking space in ISO-8859-1. Interesting though it only affects the quotes. Hopefully this email should be utf8. Space test: 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 -- Brian May <brian@microcomaustralia.com.au>
