Usually this is a function of the mailer which uses Quoted-printable
encoding.  7 bit ascii
characters are sent as, but 8 bit characters are encoding using =3Dnn.=20
So, =3D itself
is encoded as =3D3D.

Your email client should decode them so you lose the 3D.  But
sometimes this doesn't
happen.  The encoding method appears not to be stated correctly in the
mail header.
