I see the extra spaces, which are non-break spaces.  I think the reason 
John was seeing uppercase A-circumflex characters is because Ed's email 
is using UTF-8; however John's email client isn't respecting the header 
that says so, and is using Western (ISO-8859-1).  NBSP in UTF-8 is 
A-circumflex in Western.

Amusingly, Bill's reply also contains a NBSP (after the full stop in 
"don't".), which displays as A-circumflex when I change the coding in my 
client.
