Those "=" signs all over the place don't have anything to do
with HTML...or content types, or anything nonstandard for
that matter. It's part of the MIME spec. Outlook sends most
of its messages with "Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable",
which is a way of encoding a message so that it is mostly
human-readable if read by a non-MIME-compliant mailer, but
uses no characters outside of 7-bit US-ASCII. The "=" is used
to encode characters outside of US-ASCII.
