That's standard MIME encoding. Whereever there is an "=", the 2-digit
hexadecimal code after it determines the ASCII character to display. This
is done because SMTP doesn't require 8 bits (some old SMTP servers can't
handle more than 7 bits). It is up to the receiving mail client to decode it.
The only problem would be if these codes were being used in a nonencoded
segment, or a segment not encoded with the "quoted-printable" encoding type.
