They are MIME-encoded messages. I believe that if you save the text to a file
with a .mim extension, then double-click on it, Windows will be able to display
it in the original format. At least, I was able to extract actual text from
Bill's gibberish.
Bill, your problem is in your signature, it contains high-order ASCII
characters, so the message is being translated automatically to a MIME format.
Not sure if it's the Blackberry, Outlook, or the list that's doing the
conversion. The MIME encoding uses only low-order ASCII (basically, standard
"printable" characters with ASCII values <= 127) to represent text that
includes high-order characters.
Doff the fancy signature, and we'll be able to read what you send!
If anyone's interested, here's Bill's message decoded (signature edited to
remove special characters):
Use a Blackberry with Outlook on the PC. Outgoing messages go directly from th
BB. Have no idea what caused the gibbersih but but glad its gone.

Bill,
You've got to get your jibberish problem under control! What kind of
email program are you using?
