[Typo3-dev] Bad URL encoding in Direct Mail Subscription Mails

[Jesper Weissglas]

This of course looks a lot better, but it's still weird to me: The mail 
is sent out with encoding quoted printable. Any SMTP MTA configured with 
autoconvert (like most SendMail default installations) will interpret 
the =xx (where xx is any hexadecimal number, such as 45 in your example 
below) as a single character (i.e. with hex code 45), and mess up the URL.

If QP encoding is used the '=' must be encoded as =3D, and it isn't.

(I don't understand why the mail is sent as QP in the first place, since 
all text comes from the template file, and the non-7bit ASCII characters 
in that file are not QP encoded either!)

Unless of course there is some config option I've never seen that gets 
rid of the QP encoding header?
