Interesting...I was wondering what was in there.

Hint:  fix your e-mail client.  Here's what it looks like to those of
us using "historical" clients:

Content-Type: text/plain;
        charset="US-ASCII"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

SGkgR3JlZywNCg0KICAgICAgICAgICAgDQoNCkkgYWxyZWFkeSBwb3N0ZWQgdGhlIGZvbGxv

 [...]

Now if your message actually NEEDED base64-encoding, that would be one
thing.  But you're explicitly sending text/plain in US-ASCII!  There is
absolutely no benefit whatsoever to encoding that.  In fact, it bloats
the message size by 30%, and obviously it gets ignored by a lot of the
folks on this list...  If you must use a transfer-encoding, at least go
with 8bit or quoted-printable.  A handful of untranslated characters is
far preferable to an entire message of them.

Thanks,
