The problem with cut and paste is that it breaks lines that have too many
characters.  The "=3D" do come from the MIME Quoted Printable transfer
encoding.  If you have a MIME-compatible mail reader, it will resolve those
back into the proper characters.

If your mail reader doesn't do that, you can do one of several things:
  (1) save the entire message on your PC (an extension of ".MIM" is good),
then open the file with WinZip
  (2) save just the attachment in a text file, then use Perl
perl -MMIME::QuotedPrint -00 -ne 'print decode_qp($_)' infile >outfile
