It got converted to quoted-printable. So '\240' (the space character
with parity bit set) got converted into =A0
Hmm....... Just looking at the tail end of the message where the
whitespace is, I used the following filter on the quoted printable
forwarded message:
sed 's/=A0/X/g' </tmp/b |tr -cd 'X ' | tr 'X' '\240' | od -c
and got:

I used
tr -d 'a-zA-Z,<>'| od -c
on the tail end of the original HTML message gives:

So I think it's conclusive that it does survive forwarding
