<&nbsp> is an HTML code for a "non-breaking space" character. HTML
(HyperText Markup Language) is the language used to author web pages. Some
email programs, including Microsoft Outlook, encode email messages in
HTML--that's how you get all those stupid codes in email. You can turn this
feature off but generally users are not sophisticated enough to know how and
why to do this. Yes, it is annoying...
