In case anyone cares, yes, my initial hunch was correct. Because of my
list settings to eat all MIME information and attachments, the MIME info
around those messages are stripped. However, either MS Exchange doesn't
include in the MIME info that the body is base64 encoded, or Listar just
doesn't know to look for a special encoding of the body - in any case, the
body doesn't get decoded to normal text, that's what happened. Apparently
eCartis 1.0 will include a brand-spanking new MIME library that will
handle all this well.
