How did my original reply to Carlos look on your end?
I think this is the message you're referring to:

1. An extra space in inserted in quoted lines that begin with one or more spaces.
2. If using format=flowed (def_flowed or user/flowed=on in Smapi/JamNNTPd),
when there are two or more consecutive spaces in the quoted text, all but one are replaced by non-breaking spaces (UTF-8: 0xC2 0xA0 / LATIN-1: 0xA0) when posted to the NNTP server.
As FTN-style quotes are usually prefixed by a space, another one is inserted and then the second one is converted to a NBSP.
If you manually remove the extra spaces in the quotes before sending the reply, no NBSPs are posted. (I'm doing it in this reply.)

I've manually removed all but one space in the quotes above to see if this indeed works on my end as well.

Yes, that's the one.. along with most of the others I wrote from
Thunderbird. It seems Thunderbird adds non-breaking spaces (or
  in html) anywhere there's two or more concurrent spaces next
to each other.
They are here on these quotes, but on none of the others...?

All look fine except the ones I'm quoting above. I guess you did not remove
the spaces in that block.
Have you tried adding '/flowed=off' to your username, or setting 'def_flowed off' in your Jam/SmapiNNTPd config? That way, those spaces will

Yes that was kind of a test. I backspaced all of the 2nd and 3rd level quotes to the newly created quote character except for one paragraph of quoted text to nail down the problem. Now if I understand all of this correctly, there shouldn't be any issues with the above quotes.

This seems to work better in this regard.
However, now obviously we're not using format=flowed text, so is it now hard wrapping the text that I'm currently writing?
Isn't that supposed to be left alone (ie: no hard wrapping) so the next reader can deal with the message however it seems fit?
There was no hard wrapping in the above qouted 1 lines by you...
Confirmed in Golded. However, everything I write and see now in
Thunderbird is wrapping at <80 columns, even though in Golded it shows otherwise.
Oh well, at least the utf-8 "crap" as Tommi calls it is gone.

I _think_ that the "flowed" setting does not affect when entering
messages to msgbase. It's about the nntp client how it sends the text.

Here's testing Smapinntpd with 'def-flowed=on' and Thunderbird with 'mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support = true' and 'mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed = false'.
If this doesn't work, and the only option is to disable it in Smapinntpd, I'll probably just avoid Thunderbird, then. Since it seems to work fine in other clients. :(

Your lines were wrapped as seen above in the quotes. And there were no odd utf-8 characters in front of any of the quotes...

Ok.. Lets test, I just applied those two settings to this TB and logged
in with tommi/flowed=on.
However, I wonder why your client is wrapping the end of a couple of
the lines with no quote mark before it? One of them was the tearline. "Thunderb" was wrapped to the next line with no quote character before
it.
