I'm afraid your email client is still wrapping long lines, as you can
see here. It is also doing the space-to-unicode-non-breaking-space
transformation.

It looks like you're using Thunderbird, in which case this might help:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.11/process/email-clients.html#thunderbird-gui

It suggests disabling sending of format=flowed and wrapping of
long lines for patch emails.

Alternatively if you plan to send more patch mails in future
you might look into configuring the git-send-email command.

thanks
