I have no idea what went wrong.

I meant to say:
Maybe you can add it to the wiki too in this place: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Components_and_Code_examples#Packages.2FPrograms_for_FPC.2FLazarus_.28not_hosted_here.29

nothing went wrong... it appears that someone's reader can't or couldn't decode your MIME post... i saw it plainly (in my t-bird) without having to do anything special but was able to fully decode it from the poster's quoted block of it...

No, because the MIME header seems to be invalid. It should at least contain something like "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64", otherwise the mail client doesn't know it has to decode it. It seems more like that there's a buggy mail server in the path (there was no base64-encoded part in the message I received).

thunderbird had no problem decoding the post...

It should at least contain something like "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64",

i haven't found where this is required but i've not tried to dig into the RFCs either... most of them give me massive headaches :(

otherwise the mail client doesn't know it has to decode it.

see above... thunderbird had no problems with it... perhaps thunderbird analyzes the info? i dunno but i showed the three content-* lines from the post...

It seems more like that there's a buggy mail server in the path (there was no base64-encoded part in the message I received).

ummm... that strange block that you quoted was exactly that base64 encoded part! i copied it exactly as you sent it and pasted it into the site i pointed you to... some slight editing to remove the leading '> ' and then a li'l click on their decode button and the text was shown exactly as thunderbird had decoded it from the original message... the poster quoted your message and prefixed each line with '> ', wrapped each line to ~75 characters, and then added their message text below your quoted text...

As mentioned, that's because your copy probably wasn't base64-encoded in the first place.

i must have missed that part about /my copy/ in the original statement :?

how can my copy be different from your copy if everyone in the list gets a copy of the same message via the same originating source from the same originating writer's software? yes, i know that news groups are also fed from the list which simply adds another hop in the path...
