Wonder why? The MIME tags seem to be correct. 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 :-))
