If you just want to read the message, then it doesn't matter if it's base64 encoded -- Gnus decodes it automatically, so you won't even notice unless you view the raw message. > And if that wasn't me -- but some poor Outlook or even fido users? Outlook has no problem with viewing base64. I don't know about Fido, but I'd consider any client which doesn't do base64 to be extremely obsolete.
