title: Change &nbsp; to save length without to collapse table cell
body: <p>I'm sending e-mails about weekly food orders. This is practically means 1, 2 or 3 tables. I'm trying to eliminate any unnecessary HTML from source to save bandwidth. Now there's one thing remained: <code>&amp;nbsp;</code> It costs 6 bytes when the client hasn't ordered anything at a day.</p>
  
  <p>When I change the <code>&amp;nbsp;</code> to a simple space it breaks my table.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any effective solution to throw out the non-breaking space without to collapse my table cells?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update:</strong></p>
  
  <p>Thanks for the answers all of them does what I want after all I should accept Joeri's answer because some e-mail clients <em>(Mozilla Thunderbird, Windows for example)</em> totally messed up with the solutions below.</p>
