Well, as you can see by the header, it's base64-encoded. I have no
idea why. Maybe it's a sendmail setting? Here's a sample from one of
mine:
Envelope-to: root@localhost.localdomain
Delivery-date: Sun, 17 Apr 2005 21:46:33 -0500
Subject: apt-listchanges: changelogs for debian
To: root@localhost.localdomain
From: root <root@localhost.localdomain>
gaim (1:1.2.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* New upstream version. Fixes IRC escaping remote DOS problems, hence medium
priority.
* debian/patches/icq-auth2.patch:
- removed, upstream backed the changes out themselves in this release
