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.

If this is spam, is it coming into your email inbox?  If so, how does it relate to the subject line?
