<&nbsp> is an HTML code for a "non-breaking space" character. HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the language used to author web pages. Some email programs, including Microsoft Outlook, encode email messages in HTML--that's how you get all those stupid codes in email. You can turn this feature off but generally users are not sophisticated enough to know how and why to do this. Yes, it is annoying...
