What editor are you using?  I noticed that recently, your messages are formatted so that every line has an ANSI "reset all modes" code at the end (ESC[0m), formatted to be at the same column in each line. The result is that in each line, there could be multiple spaces followed by that ANSI code. Those spaces remain when I quote your message (as seen in the above quoted paragraph).  For instance, this screenshot shows the message I'm replying to being edited in vim:

I'm the author of SlyEdit (the editor I typically use), and I could make an update such that it could trim excess spaces from the ends of the quote lines, but generally I like to have it not mess with the original text if possible.
