The email was encoded with quoted-printable. In that encoding = is a
special character so is escaped with =3D.
You can set the transfer encoding to something other than quoted-
printable (eg not encode at all), but if you don't encode at all the
mail could get garbled when passing through some mail servers. There's
an example in the docs of how to set the transfer encoding to base64,
you could instead just set it to 'identity' (actually actionmailer
won't do any encoding if that setting is not either quoted-printable
of base64 but you might as well pick a sensible name)
If your email is indeed html, why are you setting the content type to
text/plain ?
