Exactly.

I've noticed this in Thunderbird (and Seamonkey):

1. An extra space in inserted in quoted lines that begin with one or more
spaces.

2. If using format=flowed (def_flowed or user/flowed=on in Smapi/JamNNTPd),
when there are two or more consecutive spaces in the quoted text, all but one
are replaced by non-breaking spaces (UTF-8: 0xC2 0xA0 / LATIN-1: 0xA0) when
posted to the NNTP server.

As FTN-style quotes are usually prefixed by a space, another one is inserted
and then the second one is converted to a NBSP.

If you manually remove the extra spaces in the quotes before sending the
reply, no NBSPs are posted. (I'm doing it in this reply.)
