I've got some initial results that suggest there is indeed an interop
problem - I'm trying to get more detail.
Mutt has no trouble groking messages sent with the current version
(latest snap) but a friend using a windows mailer reports similar
symptoms (the base64 attachment isn't being decoded). Of course, It
could be a bug in his mailer.
I'm trying to get the raw text of the message for comparison.
