    Some of our users have been having a problem with "Non-breaking spaces" showing up with they forward messages.  Below is an example of what the forward looks like:

    The only reason I know that these are Non-breaking spaces in the first place is that I Googled "&#160".  Where do these come from? Why are they there? How do I stop them from appearing?  I've been working with computers for nearly 30 years and I'm ranting like a newbie!!!  Why can't a simple email just stay simple?  Something deep inside me tells me that Micro$oft is at the root of this!  Do we really need HTML and special codes in email?
     
    OK, forget my ramblings above ;-)  Is there a way to proclude these codes from being included in forwards?  Thanks in advance for any assistance.
