Hello all,
These and many other email issues are why, IMHO, the current old-style AMSAT mailing list should be converted to a more modern web-based forum that can be organized by topic.

Hello Vince,
This is likely a side-effect of the MIME processing in your email client. Mike's email was base64 encoded and sent to the list by Thunderbird 52.8.0 (from headers).
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; Format="flowed" <...> TWUgdG9vLCBObyByZXBseSEKCk1pa2UsIEFCOVYKCgpPbiA1LzI5LzIwMTggMTU6MjYgUE0sIFNj b3R0IHdyb3RlOgo+IFRoYW5rcyBmb3IgdGhlIGluZm8sIFBhdWwhCj4KPiBBcyBhIGNoZWNrLCBJ IHRyaWVkIHRvIGxvZyBpbiBhbmQgbXkgY3VycmVudCBwYXNzd29yZCB3YXMgbm90IGFjY2VwdGVk Lgo+Cj4gSSBjbGlja2VkIHRoZSBQYXNzd29yZCBSZXNldCBidXR0b24gYW5kIGl0IGluZGljYXRl
This "line noise" is reconstituted into his email message at your end and laid out on your screen by your email program.
Mike's email shows up just fine for me in Thunderbird 45.5.1 and Mutt 1.7.1 (2016-10-04).
Have you tried looking at his message using your provider's web mail interface? Does it look correct there?
