"&n b s p" in E-mails
I received an e-mail from an elderly friend and in the text of the e-mail a lot of "& n b s p 's" appearred as part of the text. I did not think much of it, just perhaps that it was one of those abbreviations that some people use in e-mailing, in which I could not decipher what was suppose to mean. I opened another e-mail from an aunt and gosh her e-mail had a lot of & n b s p 's as part of the text also. Thinking that this was too much of a coincidence I did a Google search and did find that could be a HTML code for a non-breaking space. So what is this exactly and how can this be fixed?
Gosh, I just had to edit this message and type &n b s p with spaces because only the 's showed up.

Character HTML Description
&nsbp Non-braking space
see http://www.dejeu.com/web/tools/html/special_chars.asp
If you use OE , "Create Mail" , View > Source Edit then type say test test then click the "Source" tab at bottom it will only shows test test but if type test test then click "Source" tab it will show
test test as three extra spaces were added.

From RFC 2821, SMTP mail
4.1.1.4 DATA (DATA)
The receiver normally sends a 354 response to DATA, and then treats
the lines (strings ending in sequences, as described in
section 2.3.7) following the command as mail data from the sender.
This command causes the mail data to be appended to the mail data
buffer. The mail data may contain any of the 128 ASCII character
codes, although experience has indicated that use of control
characters other than SP, HT, CR, and LF may cause problems and
SHOULD be avoided when possible.

Does that mean the message was sent as Plain text. What else should I be looking for?
