This is from encoding: quoted-printable.  In the version of kmail I
have, it looks like that's controlled by a pref under Network,
Properties tab, Message Property: either "Allow 8-bit" or "Mime
Compliant (Quoted Printable)".

There may be another pref somewhere, regarding soft wrapping.
I think Quoted-Printable uses " =" to indicate a soft line break,
for mail clients that understand that.  But it confuses a lot of mail
clients (mutt doesn't seem to deal well with Q-P messages).
Sending as format=flowed seems like a better way of doing this
(f=f puts a space at the end of a line to indicate a soft linebreak,
but doesn't add an =, so it degrades gracefully in mail clients that
don't understand the format) but not many mail clients support it yet
(I didn't notice any kmail prefs to do that).
