Michael, I am using Outlook 2003, yet I have Word disabled, and read / reply in plain text turned on. The only reason I was un-sure was that the majority of my replies go through just fine. =)
Thanks for your reply, I will further investigate is Outlook is doing something screwy only part of the time.

It's trying to add html style markup to the email and then send it in base64 encoded format. In addition, these types of clients tend not to send a plain text version of the email along with the html which would trip another blocker. I block base64 as it's used by just about every virus and spamware sent out today and it's part of what keeps these lists so secure. I can turn it off but then I'd have to write more checker code to keep spam, especially spam masked as list posters, off the list. If I allowed emails that only had HTML content without the (required?) plain text portion then I'd have to write stripper code which will mangle the email by removing important information as well as formatting. End result is that these issues are rairly tripped by list subscribers more than once. I'll write up a FAQ item to cover this. I'd bet that your using outlook or outlook express as they LOVE to 'improve' your mail experience with unneeded HTML. HTML that is really badly written and will increase the 'weight' of the posts coming from the list as well as screwing up the (proper) html of the archives. >Occasionally when I hit reply and type a response on top of a current >post, then email it to cf-talk, I get a response that 'Base64 encoded >emails not accepted' Why in the world would 90% of my replies typed >exactly the same way go through fine, and 10% get this strange bounce? >All I do in that case is strip out the current content of the post, and >resend it.
