It's not KMail, it's your OpenPGP signature. Attaching the signature |
| 20 |
switches your mail from text/plain to multipart/signed, and the mail |
| 21 |
client switches to quoted-printable for the text part of the message. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
However, there does seem to be some kind of problem with the |
| 24 |
mail-to-news gateway. The quoted-printable "soft-return" sequence is |
| 25 |
=20, but it's being turned into "==20" somewhere along the way. slrn |
| 26 |
*does* support quoted-printable messages, if they were well-formed |
| 27 |
quoted printable :) |

For reference, this is what your mail looks like coming over SMTP; note |
| 30 |
the lack of "==20" anywhere: |

--Sig_/TRElrs3oa099GBUkPVLmB/I |
| 33 |
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII |
| 34 |
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable |

That's intriguing, considering it's been many years since I used |
| 47 |
KMail. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
The =3D20 is usually caused by a quoted-printable message, meaning either |
| 50 |
your newsreader cannot handle quoted-printable or the mail-to-news |
| 51 |
gateway is screwing it up. |
