Confirmation email has &nsps characters all through it

I inherited XOOPS when I took on a new customer who already had it in place.
Recently the server was moved to a new host provider.
All seems well, except when a user completes one of our secured forms, they are getting a confirmation email indicating everything they had typed. This was the case before the server transition, but now -    is inserting itself in the conformation email's field name and the user's entry responses. I can't figure out how to find the code for this confirmation email so I can see if I can fix the problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What module is used for the form?
What do you mean by 'secure' form?
Is this problem also affecting other mails as eg registration or notification?

Hi, thanks.
Formulaire version 3.23
I've been playing around with the setting "Text encoding for sending emails" - it was set to ISO-8859-15. Now my confirmation emails are error messages - but the form that is submitted to the designated recipient is just fine and all clear. It's this confirmation email thing I'm struggling with..

You mean   ?
These have always been included to have a formatting in the table of data in the email, so that it stays away from the border.
So, nothing is changed there.
See email message source of a new and earlier mail.
I don't understand why these nbsp entities are visible in your email client, since it is always html formatted.
Then you would have to see also the , tags etc.?

If you have English or an Western-European language in use, then ISO-8859-1 should be the prefferred message encoding.

Don't understand what you mean. Give some examples.

Hi, thank you so much for your time.
I have taken a snapshot of the confirmation email I am referring to.
This is what the user receives after they complete the online form.
See how the title of the field and the user's answers have the &nsps at the beginning of each?

Hope this helps...

Is the server sending these emails (localhost in the mailpreferences) or do you use an external mail service as eg Yahoo?
