I did not consciously use Quoted Printable! I replied in the format
that the original was sent. If you do not like Quoted Printable
complain to the person who started the ball rolling!

Guess mom never said to you "So, I suppose if all your friends jumped off
a cliff then you'd do it, too, huh?" Frank might've not known better. So
that's your excuse, too? You are not engaged in a private conversation
between just you and the OP. Usenet is not a private chat or messenger
service. You are promulgating your post to e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e.
"Don't use quoted-printable" applies regardless that you are the thread
starter or replying. "Don't use HTML" applies to all newsgroups unless
their charter says otherwise (BTW, and as far as I know, none of the
microsoft.public.* groups have a charter written by Microsoft, so the
defaults for posting to Usenet apply.)
The Usenet is an anarchy. Any comment made regarding proper posting is
only a suggestion regarding netiquette but that doesn't preclude being
judged on your behavior. Even some MVPs will post using quoted-printable
format (they're only used to their Microsoft island in the Usenet world).
Even Microsoft doesn't comply with all Usenet standards whether they are
de facto or RFC standards (because Microsoft only knows their island).

2. Don't post anything but plain text
Quoted-printable is still text but it is ENCODED text. HTML is also
always text but it is ENCODED text. Just post using PLAIN text format.
As an experiment to yourself to see why quoted-printable is a crappy
format for replying, look at your own reply. Where is the differentiation
between your content and the OP's content? Now reply to your own reply
and notice again there is no differentiation between each poster's
content. The RFC stipulates how quoted-printable is encoded. It does not
stipulate how NNTP client will handle that format when replying. OE
chooses not to handle it all so there is no differentiation between the
content of different posters. Other NNTP clients make arbitrary choices
of where to truncated or wrap a line (i.e., they chop up the content to
get rid of the quoted-printable format).
