[bug-mailutils] Bug: Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

[Alastair Poole]

Hi,

I recently found a bug in libgnumailutils where mail received in
quoted-printable transfer encoding was broken, at least to some degree.

Quoted-printable encoding converts special characters such as "=" to
"=3D", as I am sure many of you are aware.  Well although
libgnumailutils converts most of the messages in this format it does not
catch "=3D" and convert them back to singular "=".  I personally had to
write a hack around this as my program was passing GnuPG public-keys
around, pretty essentially as many "=" in them, though I thought you
should know about this issue (you may already do).

I hope this description is clear enough, any further questions about
this problem I am happy to respond to.
