Spaces at the end of a line are supposed to be escaped if you are doing
quoted-printable encoding (which I think is the default setting)

I've seen things like config file listings destroyed by adding the ='s
at the ends where it would be better to just lose the blanks.
Has anyone tried adding perl code to undo quoted-printable before
passing on to the list?  Perhaps this could be an option or a setting
could force it if there are no 8-bit characters after decoding.
