Actually, the HTML generated by OL looks sane.

Each line here ends in "=". The message is qp encoded. The act of
qp-decoding the message should join a line ending in = with the
following line, removing the = character. (The = character at the end
of a line in qp encoding works a lot like the \ character at the end of
a sh script line.)
So perhaps the best solution to view this stuff is to view the text/html
variant, rather than the text/plain variant. Try v to see the
attachments, then hit Return on the text/html one. If that invokes a
text-mode browser like w3m or links or lynx, then you should be able to
follow the link.
