Why am I getting this? It seems from the replies that others are getting
readable text. Is this some format that Gravity doesn't support?


More microsoft idiocy.

Base64-encoding ISO-8859-1 (standard Latin of which USASCII is a
subset) text.

HDR Content-Type: text/plain;
charset="iso-8859-1"
HDR Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
HDR X-Priority: 3
HDR X-MSMail-Priority: Normal
HDR X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1158
HDR X-MIMEOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1165

In particular, note the Content-Tranfer-Encoding. Stupid microsoft.
