Hello Vince,

This is likely a side-effect of the MIME processing in your email
client. Mike's email was base64 encoded and sent to the list by
Thunderbird 52.8.0 (from headers).

This "line noise" is reconstituted into his email message at your end
and laid out on your screen by your email program.

Mike's email shows up just fine for me in Thunderbird 45.5.1 and Mutt
1.7.1 (2016-10-04).

Have you tried looking at his message using your provider's web mail
interface? Does it look correct there?
