No, =20 is "quoted printable" encoding. It's extremely common for email; it can be used whenever the source content is HTML or plain text or a calendar invitation or any other textual material which might not fit within the 7-bit ASCII encoding. If the message were HTML encoded, you would have seen %20, not =20.
