I see similar things on SI-LIST occasionally. I usually ignore them. (Life
is short.)
It looks like base64. My first guess is that some mail system along the way
mangled the encoding.
The header of my copy says:
Content-type: text/plain; charset=GB2312
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Changing the 8bit to base64 (with an editor) gets a message in English with
some junk on the end.
Google fiinds this:
The GB2312 encoding implements GB 2312-1980, a PRC national
standard for the encoding of simplified Chinese characters.
Multibyte characters in the GB2312 encoding can be one byte or two bytes
long. GB 11383-1981 (ASCII) characters are represented by single bytes
in the range 0x00 to 0x7F. Simplified Chinese characters are represented
by two bytes, both in the range 0xA1-0xFE.
