I sometimes get that "weird stuff" too. I know enough to know that it is BASE64 encoded. But I don't know why my email client sometimes does not properly decode it. My home email client, pine, never decodes that stuff. Outlook here at works ususally decodes it. As best as I can tell, it seems that sometimes the "control information" which tells Outlook that the email is base64 encoded somehow isn't recognized. I have the same problem at times with "quoted printable" email as well (that's the one with a lot of equal signs in it).
