   The "email source" option (which is Cntl-u on Thunderbird) will show   
   you the "Header" info of anything you send - after you send it, but   
   it's better than nothing.   
      
   Here's the applicable header from your email:   
      
   Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit   
      
   ... so you're not sending "Quoted-Printable" encoding. Most email   
   clients have an option to send "Plain Text" (or something similar)   
   emails. Some allow you to speify the option in the Address Book, and   
   make it automatic.  In Thunderbird's address book, the option is   
   "Prefers To Receive Emails Formatted As ...", and you can choose   
   "Plain Text."   
      
   Thanks for asking: I'll be happy to inform anyone who asks if thair   
   email client is using Quoted-Printable encoding.   
      
   (Since this is of general interest, I've changed the Subject and   
   reset the threading info.)
