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.)

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.

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.

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:

  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>
