BTW, If I take the two Base64 blocks of your message, remove the first "=" sign from the end of the first block, remove all whitespaces and decode it as one block, then I get the same "junk" characters end the end of the message text. I also opened the mail in another mail client (some web mail UI from my mailbox provider) and it also shows the message text with some junk characters at the end. My guess would be that the problem here is not Outlook (however one could question why it is encoding the sent message content as Base64 in the first place, instead of something like quoted-printable), but the list mailer, as instead of just adding another Base64 block which produces invalid data, it probably should decode the first block, add the "To unsubscribe..." text, and re-encode it, so that it is one valid Base64 block. However, because in this case the message content is invalid Base64, it depends on the client how it tries to work-around it (so in my case, it shows only an empty message).
