The =20 is from the Quoted/Printable standard portion of MIME encoding,
the =20 means... a space follows. Since MIME encoding prevents lines
from being longer than around 76 characters (sorry, don't have the exact
number), longer lines will be folded. Lines that would are folded, that
have a white space character at the fold point, have an equal sign followed
by the two digit hex number that represents the ASCII character added
into the message, then a CRLF.
The =XX can also be used for all 8bit characters.
So... to solve the problem:
1) ask the sender to always terminate each line with a return
2) upgrade to something that decodes the MIME messages properly.
