Without any plugins html messages are rendered to plain text.

If 
* the option "Render HTML messages as text" is activated
* no gtkhtml2_viewer plugin is loaded
html links are not shown.
Instead in the code (CTRL+U) every '=' is followed by "3D". Like:

...
href=3D"http://...

As 3D is ascii for '=' I assume it is a simple parser problem.

Thanks for sending the message privately.

I could see no problem with the display of the message at all, which made me read your report a little closer. You said "(CTRL-U)", which by default is /View/Message Source. When you view the message source you see the raw source of the message, as opposed to viewing normally, when it is decoded.

Therefore, it is entirely normal and expected to see "href=3D"http://" etc when viewing the source of a message using quoted-printable encoding.
