Sounds like you are posting it into html format.
Html only allows one space between words usually, and requires a special tag
to put additional spaces.  Try replacing the spaces with the '_' character,
or set your emailer to plain text instead of html.  If you can't do that,
try replacing the spaces with '& nbsp;'  (Remove the space between the '&'
and the 'nbsp;'  I just put the space there so my emailer wouldn't think I
wanted an extra space... Confused yet? :)
