sourceforge is broken.

your mail is sent as:
  Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
  Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
  Content-Disposition: inline

which says that the body of the text is base-64 encoded.  why it
is you're sending this way is beyond me.  however, sourceforge
then adds its own plaintext sig after your encoded body.  the net
result in the raw message looks like this, indented by two spaces
for clarity.  the block of gobbledygook is your text, the rest
is sourceforge's sig.  to do this correctly, their addition should
be a separate mime part, or they should decode your text before adding
to it.

in my case, my mailer (nmh) barfs on trying to do a base64 decode on
the SF signature, and doesn't show me your text at all.

summary:  sourceforge has a problem, but if you can figure out how
to prevent your mail from being base64 encoded in the first place,
it would avoid the issue.
