You mean "=C2=A0" ?  Ed's mail has a Mime encoding "quoted-printable", not sure why.  If your mail reader doesn't know how to handle Mime headers, you'd see those encoding markers as actual text rather than as the character they are supposed to represent.  C2 A0 is UTF-8 for "non-breaking space" which explains why many others haven't noticed anything odd.
