Maybe that's part of the explanation, and your forced character
set (presumably in all or at least most reply templates) is worth
a try, but your idea of a recalcitrant server en route doesn't
explain why I've seen such a message in the Outbox before it went
anywhere! I now often reopen messages in the Outbox to see what
they look like, so have caught the one I've had since the initial
embarrassment of sending such a message to a list I own. Or at
least no one has since told me I'm sending them nonsense.

Yes, these base64 messages obviously come about as a result of
being replies to other messages, but that is more than half of what
email is about.

However, based on what you say, despite there being several
people who experience this problem, those who don't experience it
don't seem to really believe those who do.

We'll go away and quietly cry...
