In case anyone is interested, I had the same problem, and after some digging
I found this old post from another list:
"...the message is tagged with a CTE (content-transfer-encoding) of
quoted-printable, so the '=' is the start of hexdecimal escape sequence for
an 8-bit character."
According to that posting, the way to get an "=" to look like an "=" is to
replace it with "=3D", where 3D is the ASCII code for "=". I just tried
this, and it seems like it works, so it may be as simple as entering content
into the tag as
BODY="#replace(emailbody, "=", "=3D", "all")#"
But then I have a few more questions:
1) are there any other characters we need to escape/be wary of?
2) do we have to have a CTE of quoted-printable, or is there a way to change
it to something else using the CFX-iMSMail tag?
3) If we can change it, what should we change the CTE to?
