On the israeli linux mailing list we just encountered this issue.
I am sending this in only in order to note that it would be good if
Siesta, or the evil advertiser plug-in would deal with all the
encodings correctly.  At some point in its life.

ps. I am back from my vacation and once I can clean my desk a bit
I'll upload the new bundle and invest some energy in Siesta as well.

Or - the list administrator could fix the list software not to append its
postfix to base64 encoded messages (at all, or encode it into the encoded
message or attach it as a part of a multipart/mixed MIME message).
There's more then one way to do it.
