Yes, the mailing list appends an ascii TLUG signature to the message.
Since these message happen to be base64 encoded (why I have no idea,
but they are), the ascii being appended results in garbage when you try
to decode it as base64 data.

So assuming base64 is a valid email encoding (seems to be), then the
mailing list is at fault for appending ascii to a non ascii message.
The mailing list software should obey the encoding when appending
the footer.
