I have no idea what was being used on the sender side, but on my side
I am using mutt and it works on text terminal. No proportional fonts
and other stuff which hets in a way. I can hexdump my mailbox and it
shows these lines:

0bd28090  0a 0a 3d 32 30 0a 4a 6f  65 20 67 65 74 73 20 75  |..=20.Joe gets u|
0bd280a0  70 20 61 74 36 20 61 2e  6d 2e 20 61 6e 64 20 66  |p at6 a.m. and f|

in ascii:  p     a  t  6     a  .   m  .     a  n  d     f

So something appears to eat them spaces somewhere on the road to my mailbox...
Maybe this is not very important but sure it would be nice to know.
