They being anyone listening to you transmit, intentionally or 
unintentionally, who might here you say, "Okay, my credit card number 
is ..." and decide in the moment to make use of the opportunity.

Dunno what to say about the mailing list software abusing QP in 
messages, modern email clients send MIME, automatically, and this 
mailing list doesn't understand it.  It proceeds then to mangle what 
it does not understand, using Quoted-Printable encoding, without ever 
identifying it as such.  If it DID, your email client and mine could 
easily decode the result.

With the source code to the list software and an administrator to 
install the patch, it could probably be fixed in half an hour once 
the appropriate place to put the patch were located.  But if you're 
going to go through all that trouble, you might as well just install 
mailman like everybody else.  Or Listar, if you're not a Mailman fan.
