When reading some older email messages, equal signs ("=") are display instead of the first character of a word.  This appears to have something to do with line breaks and maybe the encoding format.  When I look at the source for the message, the plain/text segment appears fine.  The HTML section contains lines with "=" at the end of the line just before the word that is effected.  I think this has something to do with line breaks, but I'm not sure.  I've included what I think are the relevant parts of the email below.  Is there an option, a fix, or does anyone know a way to remedy this problem?

Thanks in advance,

   Owen
