stripping "quoted printable"

1998-08-03 14:27:07
To the best of my recollection, Eudora has always handled quoted-printable
mail just fine. However, I (and other Eudora users on this one particular
list, so it's not just me) have recently had a high occurence of
quoted-printable mail coming from Microsoft Exchange that the program
totally chokes on. (The error msg claims the text is "corrupted")

Maybe Eudora is to blame, maybe Exchange. At this point, I don't want to
point fingers, just want to be able to read my mail without interruption.
The headers of offending messages are easily to spot and the procmail rule
to trap them is not in doubt:

        X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.0.1460.8)
        Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
        Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

My real question is what action do I use in this rule once I've found a
candidate? Is there an easy way to strip these characters out? 

Exchange server, using the new name.=A0 My office has been using =
Exchange
for some time using the old company (organization) name.=A0=20
=A0=20                                                              

Not knowing too much about QP encoding, is it just a matter of looking for
'=..' triplets?
