A0 is a "special" space character in the 127-255 range of characters. I
suspect Windows might use it as a non breaking space.

So the encoding portion would see a character higher than 127 and force
quoted printable to activate for this message.

So in this particular case, it is the GUI client which would have
inserted a special characters instead of a good old =20 space character
and is thus the culprit.
