It's a bad interface if it depends on spaces at the end of items, but this
may not be under your control.
Off the top of my head what I would do is create three small javascript
functions...
#1 - Called when the data is put into the form. Converts all spaces in all
fields to a normally unused character (like "¬" - if that even goes through
the newsgroups).
#2 - Called when the form is submitted. Converts all these special
characters back to spaces.
#3 - Called by the OnKeyPress event of each field. It would make sure that
any spaces typed by the user are changed to your special character.
