Ah crap.  I'd replied via gmail ; today and occasionally in the past as
a convenient short cut when not reading netdev with a "normal" MUA.  And
this is not the 1st time gmail has randomly decided to be "helpful" by
mangling plain text like this.  Well, I'll be having no more of that BS.

I was curious to better figure out what triggered this, now that it
isn't 1AM.  It seems the original wasn't plain text, and that gmail
didn't know what else to do with the content from your message when it
arrived as base64 encoded.

I only wonder which component is at fault here, the producer side (it
gives the following headers),

 Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=iso-8859-7
 Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
 (and the _absence_ of any MIME chunkwrapping)

or the receiver side. (Al)Pine and derivates displays the message
fine, marc.info does not, and gmail presents the body after literally
taking a stab at it.
