nbsp stands for "non-breaking space", and is probably showing up because
someone is sending their messages in html (web) code, or your mail program
is trying to read them as html. Html, by default, will only insert one space
between words, so if you want more than one space, you have to put " "
for each extra space.

A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine
picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not
obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human
soul. -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, German writer and scientist (1749-1832)
