quopri (quoted-printable) problem

I recognized today, that
* Python's "quopri.encode" encodes "=" as "=="
* Both Netscape Mail and Outlook Express do
not handle an "==" for "=" correctly in
some circumstances.
While there is apparently no problem with
plain text, attribute assignments
in HTML tags are no longer recognized.
E.g. '<a href="#x">' is encoded as
'<a href=="#x">'.
If this link is clicked on, the
mail reader tries to access '///'.
For mail reading programs it is probably best to
encode '=' as '=3D'.
