Completely unreadable messages have been appearing at the list, and
people's initial reaction were about "some poor sob from asiatic side
of the world is sending junk"..  (and ignoring those).

  The thing isn't so simple.

  The messages are quite sensible -- if viewed without MIME BASE64 
decoding MUA programs.

  Josh, please, labeling outgoing TEXT part of the message as
encoded in BASE64 is *BAD IDEA*.  (When proper encoding is 7BIT ...)

  ... for that matter, I do maintain that sending HTML in email as
a first-class citizen (not embedded/buried in attachments) is utter
stupidity purported by Microsoft and Netscape.

  Being able to do something does not mean it is a smart thing to do!
