I (think I) see base64 coming from denx.de, but not from our mail server.
blah, this seems to be all mailman's fault. apparently, it can only be changed by disabling the msg_footer/msg_header options. http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2008-September/063295.html
That's a real nice workaround:)
The headers imply that a server outside xes-inc.com converted the 8bit/utf-8 message into base64/utf-8. Perhaps denx.de doesn't support the 8BITMIME SMTP extension? Or something along those lines? Or am I missing something?
i think you're interpreting the header the wrong way. it says that denx.de sent out a base64 message but your mail server converted it back to 8bit for you.
I think we're on the same page. I've been trying to say: 1. xes sends a 8bit email to denx.de
2. denx.de converts the 8bit email to base64 (likely mailman based on the link above)
3. denx.de sends a base64 email back to me at xes (and everyone else on the list)
4.a. our xes server automatically converts the base64 email to 8bit
4.b. denx.de email server doesn't convert base64 email to 8bit email and then Wolfgang complains, just like I would:)
