You see it because your newsreader doesn't handle the quoted-printable
content transfer encoding.  Even trn handles quoted-printable, and it's a
relatively old newsreader.  (trn 4.0 was released sometime in 1995, and the
most recent patch for that version is from April 2001.) Quoted-printable was
defined in RFC 1521 (MIME Part I), issued in September 1993.  A newsreader
that still doesn't handle it more than ten years later is beyond obsolete.

(That said, I suspect that changing the default character encoding in
Lookout Express from Windows-1252 (a non-standard character encoding) to
either us-ascii or iso8859-1 might make it go away.  I haven't used it in
years, though, and don't have it set up on any of my machines, or I'd test
it myself and see if it made a difference.)
