What's with the `=3D` all over the place? I tried searching for it but that doesn't do much useful unfortunately.

Basically: it's a form of escaping, and like other forms of escaping the escape character itself has to be represented as an escape sequence. So in other languages where \ is the escape character, you have to put \\ to represent an actual slash rather than the start of an escape sequence. Here = is the escape character followed by the hex of the character, so to represent a literal = it needs its own hex value 3D after it.

Perhaps some buggy client got confused between an ASCII "=" and a QP escape sequence or something like that.
