I have to assume my recent posting is related to this. I have no clue
about Gravity, but relevant info might be that I cut and pasted from
Emacs (Aquamacs Emacs.app) into FireFox on OS X Intel.

Using alpine on Fedora, I don't see the problem with the "=" sign, but
I do see:
>> Polar Stereographic projection with 71=B0S as the latitude of true
scale

(e.g. the degree symbol, UTF-16: 0x00B0, becomes "=B0"). This is
mishandling of "quoted-printable" encoding
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quoted-printable>.
