Frequently asked questions
What do the equals-sign sequences mean?
An equals sign followed by two hex digits is one byte of the original data. An equals sign at the end of a line is a soft break and simply disappears. Everything else is literal text.
Why does my decoded text still look wrong?
Quoted-printable carries bytes, not characters. If the original message declared a charset other than UTF-8, the recovered bytes need decoding with that charset – check the Content-Type header of the message part.
