I suspect this problem is caused by the email client (GMail) -- not quoted-printable itself.

As I look at the email, the text/plain part doesn't have any soft wraps. So the text editor created the hard wrap in the following I think.

```
--000000000000c7df1f059725d814
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

...
# Reading Response Set Two
## Algorithmic discrimination
#### **Do algorithms exhibit biases (intentional or otherwise) in online
commerce?**
```

Confusingly, the HTML part had no evidence of the wrap before "commerce" and it nicely soft wraps the lines (ending with "=").

Pandoc could recover from this if markdown's headings required a blank line before and after, but since not, I think the mail client mangled the text and don't think it can be recovered...?
