My post to this list:

Subject:  Re: Android/PC editing
Message-ID: <20140708121151.GA1928@ratatosk>

came back from the listserver as:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64            <=== !!!! ****
Sender: [email protected]

But my local copy of what went out confirms that it was:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Disposition: inline
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

and sure enough, the body is plain text, rather than the ghastly base64
lump which came back from the list.

Given that internode flagged the list echo as:

X-SpamDetect: : -7.000000 IronPort SPAM scanned=-10.0, Whole message is
base64 encoded=1.0, Message text disguised using base-64 encoding=2.0

it seems reasonable to infer that the luv-main listserver did the
munging. The message has only been seen by internode servers and
tainted.luv.asn.au, according to the headers.

The other posts on the thread have not been similarly abused, including
my earlier post. It was only turned into:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

What can be happening? Did others receive it munged?
(Or did their spam filters dump it?)
