As far as I can tell, MIME QP "lets through" the entire invariant
character set (CS 640) except for leading/trailing spaces, which are
already noted as a problem in Otto's post, and the equals sign itself.
But obviously the quote character must itself be invariant for the
whole scheme to work!

Arguably, your problems are not with QP but with fanatical mailing
agents which assume that trailing blanks and long lines in plain
text actually mean something to somebody, instead of politely stripping
the former and reformatting away the latter.
