I am not sure what a preformat block is in Thunderbird but assume that
is related to HTML to Text conversion.  The patch mail had no HTML part
but it was

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=3DUTF-8; format=3Dflowed

Your mail was also flawed^Wflowed.  But indeed the above quote paragraph
was oka but your first paragraph had 0xC2, 0xA0, 0x20 sequences after
the end of sentence fullstop.  And my quoted text was another part as
text/html.

Good advise.  But TB should stop this weird behaviour in particular if
it is configured to send text/plain.=20=20
