I also have these problems, but only when I respond to a question. I've never had this garbage when posting questions. And every time I have sent garbage, I receive it as garbage. And resending it doesn't help without reformatting it, that's why I suspect a bug in the reflector. It seems to overlook the formatting in some cases and sends out the binary stuff instead of text. Some mail systems (other than outlook) might reformat it based on the content. BR Gert Please visit us at the HANNOVER MESSE. From 8th to 12th of April 2013 you can find us in hall 11, stand C13.

Not sure if it is a bug in the list reflector though, because it seems to be particular senders who regularly have this happen to them. The odd thing is seeing a conversation ensue, where other list members reply to questions when I see garbage. Which must mean their email readers do not display it as garbage. It might also mean the sender (like "Tesla", here) sees nothing wrong with his emails either. This stuff used to be caused by Base64 encoding, with a misplaced header line. These days I think the cause may be something else.
