Thanks for the patch. I just applied it. However I had again problems
to to pass the patch to git and instead retyped it. The problem are
dozens of these characters:
character: (displayed as ) (codepoint 160, #o240, #xa0)
charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
code point in charset: 0xA0
script: latin
syntax: which means: whitespace
category: .:Base, b:Arabic, j:Japanese, l:Latin
name: NO-BREAK SPACE
old-name: NON-BREAKING SPACE
general-category: Zs (Separator, Space)
decomposition: (noBreak 32) (noBreak ' ')
A simple replace by space did not worked. What is TB doing?</pre>

<p>I am not entirely certain, but I have seen this behavior.
Thunderbird appears to convert runs of multiple spaces to some
combination of spaces and non-breaking spaces. For example, I
space twice between sentences and expect that those will go out as
either 0x20 0xA0 or 0xA0 0x20. (I forget which order it uses.)</p>
<pre>I *think* that Thunderbird behaves differently if the text is
in a "Preformat" block. This is an example. I typed it in
"Preformat" style and broke the lines manually.</pre>
<p>When pasting patches or other pre-formatted text into
Thunderbird, I have developed the habit of (1) starting a new
paragraph, (2) changing the style for that paragraph to
"Preformat", (3) typing the "8<------" lines, then (4) pasting
the text between the scissor lines.</p>
