Your message included a text/plain part (which was in quoted-printable
encoding), and a text/html part.  The latter displays as you'd like,
but the former is what you see on debbugs.  The reason is that the MUA
you are using produces strange EOL sequences, which have no indication
of a newline: NBSP SPC NBSP.  You can clearly see that if you click
the "mbox" link on the message header line, which leads to this:

  https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=58145;mbox=yes;msg=5

Download the mbox file and examine it, and you will see what I
describe above.

So I think the problem is with the configuration of your MUA.
