Point (3) was mostly a throwaway line, but it's true that what you're seeing is simply a transport artifact and doesn't affect functionality. As James pointed out to me, since you're using Django 0.96, everything will be encoded as base64, which does have the various problems discussed in #3472. So point (1) is the main thing here. When you move to Django 1.0 (when it comes out -- or if you ever use subversion trunk), you'll see that a different encoding style (quoted printable) is used whenever possible, which makes the mail look a fair bit more readable in raw form.
