=12 is decoded to a square when the =12 is inside a quoted-printable encoded text. "=" is a special char for the "quoted-printable" encoding. An "=" followed by 2 numbers means that the decoded char will be the ascii char identified by the 2 numbers. "quoted-printable" is the most used encoding for texts.
To avoid the problem you have to decode the message, add your text and reencode the message to quotedprintable. Otherwise you are changing an encoded text.
