Do you mean on the list vs. reading them in the archives?

And do you mean people don't receive Dennis's posts through the list? That also would be a separate problem.

To be clear: I don't see anything Dennis needs to change. The base64 encoding is a normal configuration, I believe, so that UTF-8 characters beyond the ASCII set can be included. For example, here's an a with an umlaut: ä

(I don't know whether my email is configured correctly to encode that character. It'll be interesting to see THIS email as delivered by the list and in the archives.)

I confess I haven't taken the time to meet and thank the generous provider of Gerry and Vanagon.com. Even though I'm sure they helped me preserve and take over the hosting of VanagonWiki.net:

I'd like to get to know better that selfless crew!
