Your email is probably quoted-printable encoded, but you're assigning a plain
unencoded string to it. quoted-printable uses "=" as a special character to
mark the start of encoded characters - it's "=" followed by two hexadecimal
digits representing the character code, which is why it's eating the = and the
first two digits of the IP address. How to fix this depends on what you're
using to send the email - you either need to actually encode your string, or
tell your email function to use a different encoding header in the email.
