Hi List,
My understanding is that the equal signs are inserted because the ancient
server for this list does not handle rich text or HTML formatting properly.
Switch your mail program's formatting from standard rich text or HTML to
text only. In programs like Thunderbird, Udora, Windows Mail, Windows Live
Mail and Outlook express, this can be done on an individual basis if you
have the address for this list in your address book. Although the method to
make this change varies from program to program, basically it involves
opening the property sheet for the posting address for this list and under
the formatting page or perhaps the outgoing or send mail page, you look for
something that says something like 'use plain text only for formatting to
this address' or something similar.
I have done this in Outlook Express and I do not see the equal signs or
other odd characters in my mail as it is sent through the list.

I think the equal signs get injected by SMTP services because they get
confused about end-of-line characters and inject the equal sign.
