I just looked at the raw message you referenced here, and there is
nothing wrong with it's QP encoding.  The only slightly-suspicious
trait I notice is it uses "line continuations", that is, an '='
followed by a LF.  Other than that, all the '=' characters in the
message are followed by an ascii-encoded hex digit.  If your mail
spool shows the same thing (no errors) then it must be a pine bug.
