Just one other question on this front, I'm seeing in all emails from
this address list, and only from this address list, a lot of data at
the bottom of the emails that looks like some sort of binary data, or
maybe a digital signature or public encryption key. Is address list
encrypting emails, I've only noticed this since going to V94 which
has support for end-to-end encryption of mails via Openpgp or S/Mime
I've not seen any encrypted messages on here, and I can't see how that
would work, but...
It wouldn't work very well at all. One needs to have the public key of intended recipients.
So, unless the sender had the public keys and address of everyone on this list.....
I notice that the mailing list's footer (the unsubscribe and list info,
etc), is added as another section to the message (rather than just
tacking more text onto the author's writing). And in the handful of
messages I've looked at it, it's been base64 encoded rather than plain
text.
Often, but not always, the entire message has been base64 encoded.
I'm pretty sure it is the mailing list software doing that. As long as I don't include any
special characters or "foreign" words my messages go out as 7-bit Plain Text.
I don't know/understand why that is needed.
Check to see if my message end up being base64
Various people digitally sign their messages, which adds another binary
section to the message.
Generally about 3k or less, I think.
