If you do a base64 decode of the above chunk of "gobbledegook" it looks
like reasonablish (if non-HTML 4 compliant) HTML:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Potential separate sources of mobile data</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FONT FACE="Verdana">Dear Zoe,<BR>
<BR>
I was asked to list all the potential data sources for mobile data (re the
Mobile listings solu


But, whether Entourage is processing it as HTML depends on some of the MIME
headers that you haven't included. The most important one is the
"Content-Type", which should be something like text/html. Is there more
base64 as well?

Cheers,

Chris
