"=" is encoded as "=3D" when using MIME's "quoted-printable" content
transfer encoding <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quoted-printable>, which
is commonly used to encode 8-bit messages for email.  (0x3D is the ASCII
value of '=').  Marco's email should have included the following header,
but didn't:

  Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Since the above header was not present, our email clients did not know
to decode the quoted-printable escapes.  Emacs users could have done:

  M-x quoted-printable-decode-region

to decode the message manually.

    Best,
