That should not be an issue by itself. The more likely reason is probably use of 8-bit message (utf-8) without encoding in us-ascii (7-bit) compatible "envelope" - typically MIME Quoted Printable (as already used for the HTML section, but not for the plain text version). Some mail servers may not allow that and recode the message in MIME Base64 encoding (which is most likely the text below); while doing that, they should include this information in the header, but I suspect that this hasn't happened in the case of Guillermo (this could be checked if he forwards the received message in attachment - doing this via fpc-other would be more appropriate than here). Nevertheless, the real solution is probably for Philippe to configure his e-mail client not to send 8-bit messages without 7-bit "safe" encoding).
