No, it wasn't base64 encoding, just missing line ends etc. making quite a mess of the messages. It happened in 3 different mail clients (Eudora, iPod, and Applemail) as well as in Unix "mail" (or even in vi of the mail still in the mail server...)
Whatever was causing it seems to not be a problem today - so I guess/home it was temporary. Some of your messages were affected in this way. - joey At 10:56 +0800 2009/01/13, bill lam wrote: >On Mon, 12 Jan 2009, Joey K Tuttle wrote: >> Is anyone else suffering scrambled messages?
