I am not entirely certain, but I have seen this behavior. Thunderbird 
appears to convert runs of multiple spaces to some combination of spaces 
and non-breaking spaces.  For example, I space twice between sentences 
and expect that those will go out as either 0x20 0xA0 or 0xA0 0x20.  (I 
forget which order it uses.)

I *think* that Thunderbird behaves differently if the text is
in a "Preformat" block.  This is an example.  I typed it in
"Preformat" style and broke the lines manually.

When pasting patches or other pre-formatted text into Thunderbird, I 
have developed the habit of (1) starting a new paragraph, (2) changing 
the style for that paragraph to "Preformat", (3) typing the "8<------" 
lines, then (4) pasting the text between the scissor lines.
