Look at the headers for that article and notice:

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain;
   charset="Windows-1252"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
X-Priority: 3
X-MSMail-Priority: Normal
X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1106
X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1106


OE is sending Mime 1.0 plain text but with quoted-printable encoding. 
Yet another example of how Microsoft shows no respect for something 
which it doesn't control. A text forum should be sent plain text and OE 
should do that by default.

Notice in that Microsoft written article the term "mostly" being used. 
This is misguided assumption on their part to insert this into a product 
that posts articles into a newsgroup. It shows a lack of respect towards 
people who use plain text news readers. btw, =20 is just a space in 
ascii and I assume it is meant to provide a soft break.
