I was curious and took a look. I suspect what you're seeing are the UTF-8 
<0xC2 0xA0> sequence, which translates to codepoint 0x00A0 "no-break space"
(same as in latin1). They seem to have been used in place of regular spaces 
for the purpose of indenting. The Content-Type charset in Johannes' emails 
is "UTF-8", so I think that's legal. Although I have no idea how Patchwork 
reacts to it.
