-- ORIGINAL MESSAGE --
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

-- SUGGESTION --

If any body want to know about the different methods of Encoding URL, view
the page below..
