First off, Rahul seems to be sending messages/replies in multipart/alternative which means the same information/body is sent in text/plain and text/html.  It is up to the client to decide which to present to the end user.

In your case, the text/html portion is being rendered.  The actual MIME headers for that are....

Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

And the  character you're seeing is the result of =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 in the quoted printable.

I'm using T-Bird and it seems the html is being rendered correctly.  So, mutt seems to have an issue with qp encoding
rendering.
