Stung by your (correct) observation, I asked the question and the
answer came winging it's way back from an American contributor to the
appropriate newsgroup. (Within about 3 minutes......)
The outgoing email message format was set to "quoted printable", which
is OK if you know for certain that your target audience all have
mime-capable mail readers, which clearly isn't true!
Anyway, all should be OK now as said format is now set to 7bit/8bit
which should leave the space alone.
Interestingly, only accented characters or similar should be converted
to the =<HH> format, so I can't imagine why it was messing with my
space.
