Am I the only person for whom Gerald Cohen's posts show up as
indecipherable blocks of alphanumeric code? E.g.:

IE1pZ2h0ICJtb2RlZCIgdG8gZGVzaWduYXRlIGZhaWx1cmUvc29tZXRoaW5nIHN0dXBpZCBkZXJp
dmUgZnJvbSAib3V0bW9kZWQiLS1zYXksIGluIGNsb3RoZXMgb3IgbXVzaWM/DQogDQpHZXJhbGQg
Q29oZW4NCg0KCS0tLS0tT3JpZ2luYWwgP01lc3NhZ2UtLS0tLSANCglGcm9tOiBBbWVyaWNhbiBE
        [...]
        [from Digest for 31 Dec 2003 to 1 Jan 2004 (#2004-2)]

If so, there may be some setting I can apply to my mailreader. But I
greatly fear that that is not the case, since these blocks show up
embedded in Digests of otherwise clear text.
