In this case, it was Content-Type: text/plain; charset=3Dutf-8 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.21 (2010-09-15) so there was nothing odd in the MUA. And everything I have (gmail in web browser, less, gnome-terminal) treats the nbsp as a regular space, so it doesn't show up as any inverted block or anything like that for me until I tried to compile it. It could easily have been there in the patch originally and wasn't compile-tested. On some keyboard layouts, AltGr+space gives a nbsp. Linus
