Well I did some testing. Might be it's a good Idea to find the reason
*before* declaring the mailing list software the culprit ;o)).

Look here:

.. Which is the case anyway - even if provided by the mail client
software :o))

As written in testmails - Thunderbird also makes trouble regarding this
- 4 Year old kmail doesn't. ==> Bug??

So might be they provide digest mails in a gmail more digestible manner
- i.e. not base64 encoded?

But as long as nobody claims base64 encoded mailcontent beeing improper
mail handling, this is buggy behaviour of the client software and should
be reported as Bug to the software vendor.
