An owner of 6 announce-only lists recently sent out a broadcast to each of
the 6 lists.  When I checked the archives through the web interface for
these lists the information was all garbled.  All the messages were sent out
using Outlook 2002 and were generally the same with the exception of some
list specific information.  We have a couple of other lists that are
configured exactly the same, with owners using the same Outlook and have not
had any such problem; i.e. the archives appear okay.

Example from one list:
1.      BM_1=?utf-8?B?UmVwb3J0IHRvIENQaEEgTWVtYmVycw==?=

When I go into the content of the message, it appears okay.  It's just the
information in the archive header that seems garbled.  I wasn't too
concerned since the owner has been receiving replies and all indications are
the message went through okay (i.e. the replies include the original and it
is all intact).  However, we just got notice from one subscriber saying the
message was all garbled.  I have concerns now as to whether some subscribers
got the e-mail okay, while others got "junk" and simply deleted it.

I took one of the original e-mails and sent it to a test list that I have
been working with.  I got the same result so it would seem that there is
something in the content of the message that Listserv doesn't like.
However, it's pretty plain other than a couple of bold-face headings and a
couple of embedded web links.

Has anyone ever experienced this problem?  Any clues as to what would cause
this?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
