I think that is what my Gnus/message-mode did. I do not know which letter
triggered it to decide it is UTF-8 to begin with, though. As far as I am
aware, I didn't type anything non-ascii in my message.

Actually, it is Sverre's fault. :)
You quoted his message, quoting Christian's message. Christian's message
was 7bit. But for some reason, Sverre's quoting of Christian's message
contains weird iso8859 space characters (0xa0).
But it is probably worth configuring Gnus to use QP instead of base64.
It's more efficient (for mostly ascii text), more readable to humans
looking at the encoded form, and is less likely to make you look like a
spammer. :)

Fine, blame the Dutch, why not! :P

*points at GMail*, I ain't dun nothing funny! It's always been funny
WRT to vger and encoding issues though, so I'm not surprised.

Ok, so digging a little deeper, `base64 -d | od -t x1` gives the
following (partial) output:
0000200 6f 74 65 3a 0d 0a 3e 3e 20 2b 20 c2 a0 20 c2 a0
The key entry here is the a0 character (NO-BREAK SPACE) or NBSP.
This is at:
$ base64 -d test | od -t x1 | grep a0 | head -n 1 | xxd -r
ote:

+
So looks like it is in the patch you are quoting. NOTE: I have removed
the spaces after the +. Also, according to www.unicode.org, c2 is A^
(A with a circumflex) -- not sure what that is doing there, though.
