I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary.

Now you're onto something. That's base-64 encoded text. Your mail reader
should automatically be decoding that into plain text so you can read it.
I'm using Opera as my mail client, and it shows the text like a normal
message --but if I tell it to show me the raw message and headers, then I
see the base-64 block like you posted above. Maybe there's a setting
turned off someplace in your mail client?
