Myself, under mutt, I see doublespaces. But! I selected some of the
original text from Ed, c-pasted onto another console and...

$   echo "I  sold  him my  extra classic 8  with the" | hexdump -C
00000000  49 c2 a0 20 73 6f 6c 64  c2 a0 20 68 69 6d 20 6d  |I.. sold.. him m|

I wonder how did they get there?
