The message is tagged with a CTE of quoted-printable, so the '='

A message with the "=====..." violates the quoted-printable
specification.  It should be "=3D=3D=3D=3D..." in quoted-printable.

It is not a bug in MHonArc, but a bug in your mail.  They do not
conform to the MIME RFCs.  MHonArc could be modified to ignore
"=XX" sequences in quoted-printable where XX is not a valid hex
number.  Right now it blindly converts any "=XX" sequence when
CTE is quoted-printable.

BTW, my mailer complains about illegal quoted-printable data in
the sample message you sent.
