What is "=C2=A0" in MIME encoded, quoted-printable text?
- by TheSoftwareJedi
This is an example raw email I am trying to parse:
MIME-version: 1.0
Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable
X-Mailer: Verizon Webmail
X-Originating-IP: [x.x.x.x]
=C2=A0test testing testing 123
What is =C2=A0? I have tried a half dozen quoted-printable parsers, but none handle this correctly. Honestly, for now, I'm coding:
//TODO WTF
encoded = encoded.Replace("=C2=A0", "");
Because I can't figure out why that text is there randomly within the MIME content, and isn't supposed to be rendered into anything. By just removing it, I'm getting the desired effect - but WHY?!
