    All,

    I've noticed an increasing amount of spam that's using what looks like a
    broken attempt to mime-encode a url. An example would be
    http://www=2euwantedx=2einfo/rm/news_out=2ehtm. Does anyone recognize
    this encoding type? I need to create some spamassassin rules to pick it
    up. The only place I've seen the "=2e" stuff is in broken outlook
    emails, so any help or pointers to sites with info on this encoding will
    be appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Rob
