This is a type of MIME encoding called quoted-printable. Mutt handles
it just fine as long as the message header or attachment header contains
a line like
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
I occasionally receive quoted-printable-encoded messages that do not
include a Content-Transfer-Encoding line. In such cases, mutt does not
know that the message is quoted-printable-encoded and displays all the
quoted-printable escapes, such as '=20', as plain text.
