HotdogEd (like may other newsreaders) doesn't support format=flowed, so it doesn't join the wrapped lines with trailing space.

Here's an example. This is a normal paragraph, a long line with a CR+LF (NNTP) or CR (FTN) at the end:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

The same paragraph but with format=flowed (wrapped at 40 instead of the usual 72):

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur[SP]
adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor[SP]
incididunt ut labore et dolore magna[SP]
aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis[SP]
nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris[SP]
nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

[SP] is a regular space (ASCII 32)
