No. it's just a poor "feature". MS fixed it themselves in Entourage, the
super-upgrade to OE 5 that ships with MS Office 2001. I have quoted hundreds
of messages in Entourage over the past year, all of which preserved white
space in quotes. Otherwise very intelligent people seem to have no
hesitation in attributing the most amazing things to Microsoft, demon
extraordinaire.

Or get them to upgrade their current version of Office (98?), which I'm sure
they must have, to Office 2001, and use Entourage, which is fully compatible
with OE 5 and has lots of other great features and improvements, aside form
quoting white space.
