I tested this with
$t = "string string";
preg_replace('/\s/', '', $t);
echo $t;
And the replace left a space... so then I tried this
$t = "string string";
$t = preg_replace('/\s/', '', $t);
echo $t;
And the output was spaceless (spaced out?)... maybe worth a try?

$eml= trim($eml);
$pattern= "%\s%"; //I use % as delimiters, more
obvious for me when debugging
if(preg_match($pattern, $eml) echo "yep, there are spaces\n";
preg_replace($pattern, '', $eml); echo "works now\n";
