  I think these may be literal translations of "quoted 
printable" characters. Quoted printable is a way of encoding 
characters not in the normal range of 7 bit text characters.
  I've tried to find a setting on the list machine to 
eliminate these but nothing I tried works so I returned it 
to the default settings.
  Check your mail client program for its settings. Some have 
a setting for quoted printable. It probably should be set to 
eliminate these.
