Something was corrupted in the metadata that confused some e-mail clients. 

I also only saw gibberish.

Likely something was stripped away, or a line-break was added somewhere, etc. 
i.e. a situation was created, likely through some minor transformation made by 
the list server, which was ignored by some mail client software, but not by 
others.
