Cearbhall,
I’m on to something, but I’m not sure precisely what!
Suggestion: If Eamonn (and any others whose messages are being received as
blank message bodies) would switch their Content-Transfer-Encoding - this
tab is in the Send tab-control of Options - to either ‘Quoted-Printable’ or
‘None’, i.e, away from BASE 64, then there’s a chance their messages may be
readable. At this point, though, this finding is just preliminary, or,
‘Alpha’ quality!
I think with the message you found unreadable, I didn’t ‘clear all
formatting’. (It was sent in Base 64, probably HTML, but I thought it was in
Plain Text. So to make sure, for the message which you fond complete, I did
‘clear all formatting ‘ found the button in the Ribbon and pressed ENTER. I
didn’t receive a warning that some content would be lost, which is what
often happens if you do this in an HTML original message.)
So far, on this list, I haven’t yet come across any other messages than
Eamonn’s sent using Content-Transzfer-Encoding Base 64. Thing is now, to
figure out how affected senders change this setting in ‘Outlook 2016’, to
make it one of the other two settings compatible with [this and other]
Freelistsd. .

This is a plain text message. The previous one (underi similar subject
line) and which caused Paul D other problems, was HTML. Plain Text and Base
64 are (apparently) settings that Eamonn uses. This is my last experiment
here for now. <Sigh Of Relief>.
