I've finally snapped and wasted the morning writing a little utility
so I can see what people are talking about (not specifically this
post, I mean in general when this happens), try it on the above text:

I will certainly use it myself to filter all code I cut and paste from
the mailing list (and the mailing list archive) in future.

PS I just KNOW this post will get splatted with =3D3D's!!!

clip.exw:
--
-- When you find an email is covered in =3D3D, =3D20 etc, copy the text
-- to the windows clipboard and run this program.
-- The encodings are stripped and the corrected text is both=20
-- displayed, and placed back on the clipboard.=20
-- Use Alt-F4 to close the window.
-- You can also just leave it running in the background; alt-tab
-- to it and the clipboard & display are automatically updated
