Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.14 (20080421)

there are 2 unexpected spaces in the text of the message received :
Un commercial efficace pour v otre business ! (v space otre)
and
Pour acqu&eac ute;rir un commercial efficace et obtenir plus d'informations :
(acqué space rir)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. an ad message composed with an HTML editor, sent to me as a test before mass-mailing
2. this message appears in thunderbird with two spaces in the text 
3. sent as a mass-mailing: the same problem appears
4. received in Gmail, result: doesn't bug 
Actual Results:  
The text as it appears in TB window (copied-pasted from TB window):
"Un commercial efficace pour v otre business !"
but the source code is correct: "Un commercial efficace pour votre business !"
A second space appears in the text: 
"Pour acqu&eac ute;rir un commercial efficace et obtenir plus d'informations :"
and the source is:
"<p>Pour acqu&eac
 ute;rir un commercial efficace et obtenir plus d'informations&nbsp;:<br />..."

Expected Results:  
no spaces in the read text when not written

after investigations, it seems that the carriage return at the end of the line is the cause of the problem
