I do not know why this occured, but I had the same Gmail settings before this unpleasant thing occured. I didn’t tell anything new so…

It appears that gmail might have changed one of its defaults so that messages are now being sent out as Base64 encoded. As you can see from this excerpt, this renders the messages as unreadable gibberish for those of us reading the digest version.
I would appreciate it if the two of you could check your gmail settings and make sure you do not have Base64 encoding set for your outgoing emails, at least for any mailing lists in which you participate.
