First of all: This mailing-list is no support forum, it's a development 
forum. If you have questions about the usage of KMail then please send 
your questions to one of the KDE user lists (kde@kde.org or, if you 
think your question is Linux specific, kde-linux@kde.org). If you want 
to report a bug then do this via bugs.kde.org as everyone else. Thanks 
in advance for following my suggestions the next time.

That's due to the so-called quoted-printable encoding (=20 stands for a 
space). No decent email client will have problems with this.

Those mailing list programs are broken. The list administrators might 
want to update to a newer version of the mailing list programs. If no 
newer version exists then they should report this bug to the developers 
of the mailing list programs. Every mailing list program should know 
how to deal with quoted-printable.

Well, the programs those archives use are obviously also too dumb if 
they can't correctly handle quoted-printable encoding.

I don't understand what the problem is. Why can't they insert the >'s?

If quoted-printable encoding is a problem for you then change the 
Message property setting (in the configuration dialog in 
Network->Sending) to "Allow 8-bit".
