I can read all the other messages normally. Is it a Marijuana=20 > Mail bug ?=20 For whatever reason, Marc-Anton's mails are encoded in base64 instead of 8bit or quoted-printable. And obviously, your mailer can't handle base64 - at least not if it's used for text/plain. But Marc-Anton should really check why his mailer (Sylpheed) uses base64-encoding for the message body (and change that, if possible). Using base64 for the message body not only makes it impossible for some people to read his messages, it also increases the size of each message by a factor of 1.33 (in base64, three 8-bit-characters are encoded as four 8-bit-characters using an alphabet consisting of only 64 characters). Besides, there's no need at all to encode text messages that do not contain any non us-ascii chracters.
