SMTP can only reliably handle 7bit data. Characters such as those listed above use 8
bits. In order for them to safely be passed through SMTP, MIME encoding is used (in
this case, "quoted-printable").
The mail client that receives the message should realize that it is encoded in this
manner, and should convert the =E9 back into é.
