I can tell you Freelists uses MIME-Version: 1.0 If you want to get technical see this: http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/MIME-Base64-2.21/Base64.pm Since freelists is written in perl, there is likely to be a lot of this in the code. It appears this treatment can produce some odd results in the process of encoding and decoding base 64 strings. Thankfully, we don't see these bugs too often.
