True, it's goofy, but it's still perfectly legitimate AFAICT.
It looks like they leave the non-ASCII characters raw in
the HTML source, then send in quoted-printable. As long
as the charset is properly declared, that's okay (just weird).
Of course, no guarantee that they declare the charset (I
can't check right now)--they may just assume the default
Windows charset, which would be bad.
