Equals sign in django-registration activation url

Question

I am using django-registration and for some reason, when it sends the activation email, it inserts an equals sign in the third to last character as such: http://example.com/accounts/activate/a65b4aca5156211bc522e29f3e872290544d14= e4/

This means the URL dispatcher does not catch the URL (the regex is ^activate/(?P<activation_key>\w+)/$. The url is incorrect anyway, as it should be without the equals sign.

Anybody know why this is happening?

Answer 1

Your email client isn't reading the quoted-printable-encoded message properly. A = at the end of a line means that the line should be concatenated with the following line seamlessly.
