The list server appended a string (non-MIME-ish) to the article which
break base64 encoding. I see this quite often, perhaps base64-decode-*
could have a parameter to make it return what has been decoded (and
update the buffer) when it fails, instead of just aborting the
decoding and return nil. A patch looks pretty straightforward.

(One could fix the mailing list software too :-))
