Re: [Dev-C++] FileContent function...

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

There are mail encodings that uses a '=' and some more characters to
encode non-printable characters. Since the '=' is a break character, a
normal '=' must then also be encoded - in this case with '=3D'.

The mail sender program - or your receiving program - failed to process
this encoding correctly. Wherever you see '=3D' the real text just
contains an '=' character.

One issue with the '=xx' encoding is that some versions of mail
encoders (I think of M$ brand) forgets to convert the single '=' to
'=3D' breaking a lot of decoding software.
