Quoted-printable encoding of challenge data may cause mismatches

Description

The challenge data is currently a random string encoded in base64 encoding using mimencode. In some cases, a mail agent may re-encode in the quoted-printable encoding, causing the "=" used as padding to be replaced with "=3D". This could be problematic when attempting to verify challenge-responses.
