Thanks, the information should be sufficient now.  I can confirm that
the two base64 encoded parts...

$ ll boost?.base64
[...] 8523 [...] boost1.base64
[...] 8515 [...] boost2.base64

... and the resulting images differ:

$ ll boost?.png
[...] 6308 [...] boost1.png
[...] 6302 [...] boost2.png

Saving in Thunderbird gives the same PNG files (also checked with
cmp):

$ ll boost?.TB.png
[...] 6308 [...] boost1.TB.png
[...] 6302 [...] boost2.TB.png

Could someone look into this problem, please?

Bye, Reiner.
