    NB> Yes, that's the one.. along with most of the others I wrote from   
    NB> Thunderbird. It seems Thunderbird adds non-breaking spaces (or   in   
    NB> html) anywhere there's two or more concurrent spaces next to each other.   
      
      
   Exactly.   
      
   I've noticed this in Thunderbird (and Seamonkey):   
      
   1. An extra space in inserted in quoted lines that begin with one or more   
   spaces.   
      
   2. If using format=flowed (def_flowed or user/flowed=on in Smapi/JamNNTPd),   
   when there are two or more consecutive spaces in the quoted text, all but one   
   are replaced by non-breaking spaces (UTF-8: 0xC2 0xA0 / LATIN-1: 0xA0) when   
   posted to the NNTP server.   
      
   As FTN-style quotes are usually prefixed by a space, another one is inserted   
   and then the second one is converted to a NBSP.   
      
   If you manually remove the extra spaces in the quotes before sending the   
   reply, no NBSPs are posted. (I'm doing it in this reply.)
