Yes, I know. Can you please read what I wrote above ?

IMHO kmail should not encode the signature delimiter in quoted-printable, 
because if it does, you never know if its the REAL signature delimiter or 
just some RANDOM TEXT in the mail body. 

So I think the fix should go into kmail rather than the bugs system.
