ISO-8859-1 seems to lack a horizontal tab, so Sujit's message used a space 
character followed by NBSP character instead. It renders fine here 
(alpine).

If I reply to Sujit's message using alpine, it retains the original 
encoding, and composes the reply in ISO-8859-1 (so it is lossless).

For your reply to Sujit's message the NBSP was converted to the utf-8 
sequence U+EFBFBD, because your reply converted back to the utf-8 
encoding.

However, U+EFBFBD is not meaningful, so alpine converts it to ???.

Now, when I reply to your reply (this message itself), again, alpine 
retains the original encoding (utf-8 in this case) and thus the "…" 
character you used is quoted losslessly.

The moral of the story? Beats me. But I'll keep using Alpine.
