I guess that's it. I fixed the problem by setting
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit" in the header.
Thanks,

Subject: Re: =12 becomes other character in Outlook Express
=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.

I have noticed that mails containing the string "=12" get the
"=12" string converted to a special character (displayed as a
square) when being opened by Outlook Express.
The mail placed in the receiver's James inbox folder is not
converted, so it seems to happen when the file is opened by
Outlook Express.
Has anybody seen this? Can it be avoided?
