Seems some people have bad news readers, as the post by Kerry do have 
the correct headers for the content.

If you got ~960 lines at the end, then your reader missed the MIME 
encoding. If you got a =3D then your reader missed the quoted-printable 
encoding. If you got both artifacts it's probably first and foremost the 
missing of the MIME encoding, since the text encoding is per MIME 
attachement, and if you didn't even get that it was MIME, you'll likely 
not get the encoding text encoding.

So, for those of you who had problems - upgrade or replace your news 
readers? :-)
