hi
You can try :
<apex:outputText value="Your Text" style="white-space:pre;" /> 
It will preserve the spaces .
 
alos try
 <apex:outputText value="Your Text" escape="false" />  
Thanks

It did not work.
Here is my code : 
<messaging:emailTemplate subject="test" recipientType="Contact" relatedToType="Case">
<messaging:htmlEmailBody >
Congratulations!
This is your new Visualforce Email Template.
 <html>
    <body>
    

         <apex:outputText value="{!SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(JSENCODE(relatedTo.T_Last_External_Post__c), '\\r\\n', '\\n'),'\\n','<br/>')}" style="white-space:pre;" escape="false"  />
         
          <apex:outputField value="{!relatedTo.T_Last_External_Post__c}"/>
    </body>
    </html>
</messaging:htmlEmailBody>
</messaging:emailTemplate>

For anyone reading this like I just did I can confirm that the solution presented by (Piyush_soni__c) of:

<apex:outputText value="Your Text" style="white-space:pre;" /> 
It will preserve the spaces .
 
alos try
 <apex:outputText value="Your Text" escape="false" />


Works if you combine the two as such:

<apex:outputText value="Your Text"
style="white-space:pre;"
escape="false"
/>
