You are correct, the webmail client I was using added for whatever reason
non ASCII characters just after my signature:

00002c0: 7273 6574 2e68 746d 6c0a 0a2d 2d44 53c2  rset.html..--DS.
00002d0: a00a c2a0 0a5f 5f5f 5f5f 5f5f 5f5f 5f5f  .....___________
00002e0: 5f5f 5f5f 5f5f 5f5f 5f5f 5f5f 5f5f 5f5f  ________________

More specifically, 0xc2 0xa0 was inserted. This is unicode character
U+00A0, "NO-BREAK SPACE". The solution is easy, I'll stick to sending
mail using mutt instead and everything should be fine :)
