Please set your mailer to plain text.
BASE-64 shows up as a hex dump in the Digest mode, and is not readable
on many e-mail programs.
There is supposed to be a filter on the samba mailing lists that removes
all base64 and other non-plain text content, but apparently it is not
working completely.
Plain-text is the only mail setting that will work with all e-mail
systems, mailing lists and news groups.
Also replies and forwards should be in-line, not as attachments, or the
mailing list is supposed to remove them.
