Could you tell why you would think it a desired behavior?  TeX's input
mechanisms makes those spaces completely inaccessible regardless of
catcodes.  For example, if you write

\begin{verbatim*}
    
    
\end{verbatim*}

(in case the mail client swallowed it, those are four spaces in every
line), no spaces get output at all.

I don't know whether AUCTeX actually does anything in that regard, but
you will _never_ get any space at the end of the line to get through
to TeX itself.  So what situation causes you trouble?
