The problem is not HTML vs. plain text. The mail in question is purely
text/plain. But Exchange chooses to send the mail base64-encoded. Which
is perfectly valid and legit, just different from how other mail clients
do it. And the reason for that is that the charset is UTF-8 because
Tore's mail contains a diacritic and hence the mail otherwise won't be
perfect 7bit ASCII.

But fix the mailing list, don't try to shard this out to the subscribers.

Kind regards
