You could pipe your mail through a local mailserver, one that transcodes
on the way through.  Various mail/list servers do that, and you can do
just the same thing, but picking the output encoding that you want used.

I have to say, though, that I haven't noticed it sending mails in that
encoding.  I do look at message sources, from time to time, and base64
has been a bit of a rarity.

Is it this server doing it?  Often, one the mail headers will mention a
transcoding, and you can see which one did it.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
