It quite certainly isn't.  0xa0 has nothing to do with newlines.  Note
that 0xa0 is the same as SPACE, but with the 8th bit set to 1 (0x20 |
0x80 = 0xa0).  I guess your email client must be trying to "protect"
those spaces for some silly reason.

My suggestion would be to use a less silly email client, or a
different editor to paste the code into.  Or both.
