    You're seeing the results of MIME's quoted-printable encoding, which 
is what Pine uses when the mail it is trying to send has some 8-bit data 
in it.  (Technically, the =20 you see is not a newline but the space 
character at the end of the line.)
    Send a sample of a message you're trying to send.  I don't see 
anything in your .signature or elsewhere that would trigger this 
encoding, so it would help to see an actual message so we could point out 
what non-ASCII chatacter it is which causes Pine to do this.
