I think this last explanation is one you should check. The piece of your
hobbit-alerts.cfg file that you included in the message had some hex
0xA0 characters in them - I don't know if they were added by your e-mail
client, but if they are in the file I can understand why it would behave
the way it does.

Try running "od -cx hobbit-alerts.cfg" and see if you have some of those 
0xA0 characters in the file.
