Your post is a little cryptic, but I think you are asking about why  
some messages in the ruby-talk archives have "=3D" in some places. It  
is because those postings are in multi-part [MIME][1] format using  
Quoted-Printable encoding. For an example, see [http:// 
blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/154392] or  
[google][2].
