Unknown CDC unit , looks like a drum memory ?

[Ed Sharpe]

I  would  assume  there is  a  switch option in  that mail  reader  that  will enable or  disable the  reading of the   chars?

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.
