Strange characters in an Outlook email - Microsoft Community

an email forwarded me written in 2011.  took time read it.  here portion:

i have been =earching average co2 produced australians.  on average, =ach aussie produces 19 tonnes of co2 pa, americans 20t, uk 9.4t, china =t, india 1t

 

the numbers =eem rubbery, , can’t guarantee them, here =reakdown.  numbers per person pa.

 

5t  =            =nbsp;           &=bsp;      normal =orkplace

2t  =            =nbsp;           &=bsp;      =nfrastructure

2t  =            =nbsp;           &=bsp;      production of food (producing =ertilizer big part of number)

2t  =       =nbsp;           &=bsp;           =ndus

i have seen similar things time time, , didn't know why.  found nbsp means non breaking space.  there differing forms of these, ( eg "&=bsp; ").

"=" time replaces first letter of words.  , @ end of word.

i cut , pasted message notepad, , word , still shows offending characters.

the portion have pasted above bold in email sent me.

is there way remove eg  =bsp; , have readable message?
