An example would be http://www=2euwantedx=2einfo/rm/news_out=2ehtm. Does anyone recognize this encoding type? I need to create some spamassassin rules to pick it up. The only place I've seen the "=2e" stuff is in broken outlook emails, so any help or pointers to sites with info on this encoding will be appreciated.
