is rumored to have said:

Hello,

sometimes I get email with malformed content.
These mails share:
- they come from a specific contact-form via a database (4D)
- they are usually sent by bots through the form
BUT
sometimes the malformed message is sent by a human.

The malformed content only appears in Mailmate as malformed.
This looks like: ‘UgYXMgc29vbiBhcyB0aGV5IGhpdCB5b3VyIHNpdGXigKYNCiANC…’

Other mail-clients (, eM Client, Canary) are having no problems displaying the content correctly.
Content-Type:  text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

my guess is there’s a little mistake in the content and all other mail clients tolerate that, MM doesn’t.

That's the likely root cause.

I haven't seen MM fail to decode many messages, and never seen it fail to decode a message that other clients handle normally, except for wildly misconstructed spam.

Could this please be fixed.

Only Benny can say...

I expect that he won't have any way to fix it if he does not have a concrete example of a message that MM can't handle. You may need to use the "Help->Send Feedback" to share a sam ple message with him to get a fix.
