I'm not sure if it would make a difference but in your membership options to the list you can choose the format of the messages and how you'd like to receive them. I know my settings are plain text but I haven't played with the others to know if they have an option like that.
The only time I've seen base 64 coded stuff are spam pop-ups trying to bypass plaintext filters. Interesting to hear there's some legitimate usage happening.

some list posts have begun appearing in Base 64 format. I read 
the list in daily digest mode, and these posts are not converted to 
anything sensible
