Do the message headers tell you what user agent they are using?  I know that 
some versions of IMP (PHP-based webmail) will base-64 encode all of the MIME 
parts of an email that is forwarded.

I've also seen some mail relays and gateways that will take a plain text email 
and encode it to base-64 as it passes through.  I'm not sure why, maybe someone 
else on the list can explain this...
