The annoying presence of "=20" at the end of lines and similar stuff is the
result of a MIME-aware mailer sending paragraphs of text in
"Quoted-Printable" encoding, and then MIME-unaware digesting software
removing the headers that identify it as such, so that even MIME-aware
software does not know to convert it back.

If you can turn off "Quoted-Printable" and/or wrap lines to less than 80
characters and remove all extended-ascii characters from your text, most of
this will go away.
