That tends to happen for three reasons:
1. Instead of copying the line from left to right, they copy by dragging
down, which includes the newline.
2. They use a stupid text editor like wordpad that copies the space after
the word.
3. In other dumb programs, if you copy a long string that's been
word-wrapped ( like a blowfish key :) then you get a whitespace character
at the word-wrap point. I think an MSDOS prompt is an example of this.
