Oh, now I see them... And I was even able to (quite) understand where they
are coming from. I'm editing files and generating diffs under Linux (all my
compiles are done with cross-compilers) and the editor I use automatically
use tabs for indentation... and when copying/pasting through Exceed between
X11 and Outlook, the TABs get transcoded in '\0xa0' ;-(
Don't know who to blame there: Exceed, Outlook, Windows NT...
So I'll have to stick to send attached patches, although these are a lot
less convenient to review ;-(
Except if I find a workaround to this problem, perhaps find the file in its
samba share, open it with a Windows text editor, then copy/paste under
Windows... I'll try that next time :-)
